    About Francis Garnier

    I am Marie Joseph François Garnier, a French officer, inspector of Indigenous Affairs of Cochinchina, and explorer. I led the Mekong Exploration Commission in 19th century Southeast Asia.

    Francis Garnier's Area of Expertise

    I am an expert in Southeast Asian geography, culture, and history. I can provide insights into the Mekong River, Indigenous Affairs, and French colonial history.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I was given the Vietnamese name Ngạc Nhi, which means 'the one who is surprised' in English.
