It is in French . Spouse Victoria Shearman . Anglais.
A translation would be good if anyone can help. Are there details of his death.

I cannot find a death or remarriage in Britain for Victoria, where has she gone.

My French is very rusty but I think it says that he died on 5 August 1899 aged 59; lived with his wife Victoria Shearman at Siston in the commune of Arveyres; born at Bordeaux, son of Jean Baptiste Henri Buzat and Jeanne M? Touttal deceased.

I read his age as  62, Victoria 59, a naturalised English, he and Victoria were "sans profession"/not working". I read Foussat Jeanne Méloé? deceased.

Filae has an index for a Paul Pierre Bizat, naissance/birth 1837, Gironde. Their index doesn't drill down below Département.

Also can be found here on the Gironde archives (I don't have Ancestry so don't know if it's the same).

Lists him as aged 62 and his wife as aged 59.

Also on there are some passport records for him and his father:
https://archives.gironde.fr/archive/resultats/passeports/n:632?RECH_persname=Bizat&type=passeports
The one in 1859 mentions he is accompanied by his wife and child.

Now, one of their children, Louis, married in Bourdeaux in 1904, and by this time both parents are deceased:

The trick with French deaths is that women are almost always listed under maiden names.
So here she is, Victoria Shearman (veuve Bizat)
