If anyone could help decipher the inscriptions on the backs of these photos (especially the French), please comment with what you think the correct inscription is. It's not that easy to decipher script anymore either.

Si quelqu'un pouvait aider à déchiffrer les inscriptions sur le dos de ces photos (surtout le français), s'il vous plaît commenter ce que vous pensez la bonne inscription est. Il n'est pas si facile à déchiffrer scénario plus non plus.
