MADAGASCAR French colonization - If certain coastal parts of the island, humid and hot, are not suitable for the establishment of Europeans, on the other hand, they acclimatize very well on the interior plateaus. Important works were undertaken by the French, as witnessed by this line from Tananarive to Tamatave in the Mandraka valley. The country was completely devoid of communication routes before the French occupation. Photo provided by Le Monde Colonial Illustré.
