This should be the Vautour, a French Aigle Class destroyer (contre-torpilleur) of 2441 tons displacement launched in 1930 and scuttled at Toulon in November 1942. The Vautour had a top speed of 40 knots and a range of 4800 km at 18 knots and carried a complement of 220. She was armed with five 5.5 inch guns; four 37 mm anti-aircraft guns; four depth charge throwers and six 21.7 inch torpedo tubes.
At least she is the Vatour according to this website: http://sudwall.superforum.fr/l-occupation-italienne-et-allemande-f26/le-sabordage-de-la-flotte-a-toulon-83-27-11-1942-t169-135.htm (Second reproduction of the picture). They also identify the ship at left as transport Champlain.
