Avenue de France, Ferryville (now Menzel Bourguiba), Tunisia, North Africa, circa 1910: A captivating photograph capturing a moment in time, as four French sailors take a break from their duties and stand in the middle of the Avenue de France in Ferryville, now known as Menzel Bourguiba. The image, taken in the early 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the tranquility of this North African town during the French colonial era. The tree-lined avenue, with its paved road and meticulously trimmed foliage, is a testament to the French influence on the region's urban development. The sailors, dressed in their naval uniforms, add a sense of intrigue and adventure to the scene. Their relaxed posture and casual demeanor suggest that they have taken a moment away from their duties to enjoy the sunshine and the picturesque surroundings. The photograph also offers a unique perspective on the daily life of the French colonial presence in Tunisia. The sailors' presence in the town likely indicates that a French naval vessel was docked nearby, perhaps for a brief stopover or to resupply. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted history of Tunisia and its relationship with France, which continues to evolve to this day. This photograph, with its rich historical context and intriguing narrative, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in North African history, colonialism, or the history of the French Navy.
