More information about French binoculars
A French web site dedicated to binoculars
http://www.binoculaires.org/
Other French brands : Krauss or BBT-Krauss. The brand
sounds German !
Among suppliers of military optics you'll find SOM and
SAGEM.
It is likely the old French military binoculars re-surface
regularly on flea markets or on auction sites
Good luck !
Note fo your Internet search that in French, binoculars
are named "des jumelles" or "une paire de jumelles" ; but
"jumelles" also means : female twin children ...

Emmanuel from France
I am not familiar with Huet although the name is
familiar, however, Krauss was a well known French optician
and held the license to make Zeiss camera lenses (and maybe
binoculars) in France in the same way that Bausch & Lomb did
in the USA. One occasionally seens Krauss-Zeiss Tessars.
