Internationally, the total solar eclipse of 9 May 1929 was an important event as it offered astronomers yet another opportunity to confirm Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. The path of totality crossed what at the time were the Dutch East Indies, the Unfederated Malay State of Kedah, Siam and the southern tip of French Indochina. With totality lasting a generous 5 minutes or thereabouts, the eclipse was a target for European expeditions. This paper examines the French expeditions that were dispatched to Poulo Condore Island, just off the coast of what is now southern Vietnam, with two appendices devoted to a small Swiss–Siamese expedition in Siam and to the successful German expedition in Sumatra.
