Bonsoir,

The first one is in Paris on "Place de la Concorde" for an exibition. The second one also in Paris in the railways station.
Elfreide was in Bourron (a tank's camp near Fontainebleau) to be tested and the Government give order to the General Estienne, chief of the Artillerie Spéciale, to send it in Paris.

Right...I have the testing video from the French ECPA (holder of the French military photographic and video archives and memory)...a couple of pictures supposedly of the scrapping of the tank too (reproductions)...

I have a dozen or more of that tank in Paris on my site.

@Paul: this is one of the most seen pictures. The funny thing is, you can find the postcard with different languages. See my collection (English & Portuguese I guess) below. I have also seen them in Spanish, French and Italian.
