I would like to thank the authors for their response to my review last year and for the corrections they made. I have no further comments and recommend the paper for publication.

I just have quick typo points:

- l279 of the revised manucript, I have the impression that there's still an error that I highlighted in my first review: the period indicated is 1976-2006 whereas your calibration period is 1973-2006. This period could also be added in the legend of Figure 5 to improve clarity for the reader.

- l70: 'assess' instead of 'asses'

Short summary

Daily streamflow series for 661 near-natural French catchments are reconstructed over 1871–2012 using two ensemble datasets: HydRE and HydREM. They include uncertainties coming from climate forcings, streamflow measurement, and hydrological model error (for HydrREM). Comparisons with other hydrological reconstructions and independent/dependent observations show the added value of the two reconstructions in terms of quality, uncertainty estimation, and representation of extremes.
