"Raconteur" is correct, as a "recounter" of tales, a storyteller, usually humorous.
Peter Ustinov and David Niven were both famous and excellent raconteurs.

Stephen Fry (still alive!) is also a very good raconteur.

Raconteur is someone who raconte (Tells a story). I have to say at this stage that you should be able to verify in the Larousse dictionary as they tend to move with times and include more and more vocabulary.
