The Bouvet-class was a type of sail and steam avisos of the French Navy. Design by Vésigné and La Celle, [2] the ships had a clipper hull, barque rigging and a steam engine with one propeller. They were armed with one 160mm gun and two 120mm guns. Bruat (1867) is sometimes counted among this class. [2]
A model of Bouvet, lead ship of the class, is now on display at Paris naval museum.
