Basically French AFVs of the 1950s and 1960d.

Now that is a wonderful set of images and drawings. I wonder how many of the prototypes survived in museums?

The majority of French armoured prototypes still exist and are at the museum in Saumur.

This site is very good on the subject of French armour, including prototypes.
Well illustrated including drawings.
