To me it looks exactly like a 19th century French trade axe, found in damp ground.

Sure, from my collection: 1st one looks exactly the same (in working condition), check the 2nd photo to see its cross-section.
2nd axe (3rd photo) I sold recently. I had more in the past.

How do you think, could this axe be used by French soldiers in 1812 ?

Could be. Maybe even the Napoleonic campaign (I'm not familiar with the trail).
