It's a nice period, full of adventures. I think this is one of the last exotic and romantic adventure in french history, wich end in 1847 with the surrending of Abd el kader. The following is just military walk, "promenade militaire". Except perhaps the "tonkin "in 1880's)

You forgot the Dahomey in the list of exotic places, my friend 
Or maybe there were young half-naked amazons in Algeria ?

Great Collection. Allways loved the uniforms of this period.

Dahomey is very exotic but too easy and not enough fair for french troops!!

Western Soudan (today Mali) in the 1880s was not so easy and was quite adventurous too. There are some interesting old books about it.
