Yes, I had seen that picture, though I have no idea what it depicts exactly.
From the color of the VAB and the surroundings it could be a French UNPROFOR vehicle in Bosnia, or something completely different just as well.
My point was that the actual VAB GĂ©nie carries no blade as a rule. No one can rule out that some would be fitted for use as armored dozers in exceptional circumstances, but there is no such variant in everyday service in the French army.
