Unable to parse a Date from a String in Java (java.text.ParseException)

I'm trying to parse a String describing a date (in french) :

String dateAParser="dim 6 janv 2013 07:40:00";

    SimpleDateFormat parseur = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss", Locale.FRENCH);
    try{
        Date dateAllerDepart= new Date();
        dateAllerDepart=parseur.parse(dateAParser);

        System.out.println(dateAllerDepart);
    }catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

It gives me these errors :

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "dim 6 janv 2013 07:40:00"
at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:357)
at TestAvecJsoup.main(TestAvecJsoup.java:109)

I think my SimpleDateFormat object is ok, and I searched and tried a lot of things to solve this problem, so I hope you will give some clues on how to solve it.Thank you in advance.

Two minor changes, adding periods after the abbreviations, and using 3 Ms instead of 4:

    final String dateAParser = "dim. 6 janv. 2013 07:40:00";
    final SimpleDateFormat parseur = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss", Locale.FRENCH);

The first part of date String "dim" and month seems to be the issue here, are you sure it's correct value?

This works fine.

        String dateAParser="06 2013 07:40:00 AM";

        SimpleDateFormat parseur = new SimpleDateFormat("dd yyyy hh:mm:ss a", Locale.FRENCH);
