Abstract
This article presents some aspects of the life of an emigrant Protestant Pied-Noir family in Algeria. Jacques Pichot and Eulalie Depussey were deported to Algeria following their participation in the June 1848 Paris riots because of the National Workshops closure by the Second Republic. In 1886, their son Alphonse married Henriette Orciere, a Waldensian from the Freissinieres valley in the French Alps who was part of the 1881 convoy to Algeria. After obtaining a free land grant in 1890 from the French government, the Pichot family settled in the village of Guiard 90 kilometres south-west of Oran. Their life provides fresh insight into the social history of the Pieds-Noirs within the broader political context of the Third Republic in colonial Algeria.
