The challenge, if you choose to accept it, is for the Third French Republic and the Second German Empire to make an Entente cordiale analogue. The POD has to be between 1871 and 1904.

Well Bismarck for quite a lot of the time tried a rapprochement approach to France, just like he had with Austria after beating them.
Alternatively, you could focus on one of the Anglo-French crises at the end of the 1890s - either the Upper Niger or Fashoda, and if either become a fighting war, no matter how short and sharp it would look sensible for France to cosy up to Germany.
