"Les oeuvres" means "the works". It is more used in an artistic context. For example:" Ces peintures sont les oeuvres de Paul Cézanne." Translation:" These are the works of Paul Cézanne." In french you have many words that sometimes means the same but are used in differents context or by different class of people.

The literal translation is "the works." I'm not fluent in French, but I believe it means the same thing as the "works" of a composer (like an opus), as opposed to a pizza with "the works."

The expression is most often seen as "hors d'oeuvres" which literally means "outside the work" and refers to the appetizers served before a meal.
The word itself means "work" or "accomplishment".
