This magazine will be very interesting for people interesting by French army, especially for those a look of documentation for WWI & WWII. Web site :

It's in French but with a lot of photos and pictures.
The redactor in chief is F.VAUVILLIER, well know for some books on french army with Osprey.

Just a little example of what you are going to find inside.​
Around 96 pages .​
Highly recommended.​
 
Amazing how Europe can support such high quality niche magazines in various languages and the entire English speaking world can't even publish one decent hobby mag. The one that was partially focused on figgies isn't even worth picking up for a free peruse anymore. Not whining - just observing how amazing it is the extent to which how the centre of gravity of the hobby has moved east in the last decade.
