During the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), French soldiers typically wore a distinctive uniform known as the "uniforme de chasseurs," which included a dark blue tunic and red trousers, along with a képi (a military cap). The soldiers were equipped with the Chassepot rifle, a breech-loading weapon that improved their firepower compared to earlier models. Additionally, many French troops wore greatcoats and carried backpacks for their supplies. The overall appearance was characterized by a mix of traditional military elegance and practicality for the challenges of warfare.
