Wow!
The questions raise "Where in France have these photo's been taken?" And "Can we expect more Egyptian Mirage 5s there for upgrades?"

Why do you think so? It would take an expert to put EXIF like these in a computer drawing...

The pictures look real, but they can be made anywhere, so what makes them made in France?

Well, on the first picture you can see the shadow of a C-160. Although this doesn't nessarily mean that the picture is taken in France it increases the odds slightly.

Seeing some parts still being in primer-colours (Radar Warning Receiver on the tail and some gadgets on the nose), it appears to have undergone some sort of update (like the Moroccan F-1 in Gosselies).

For info, in 2004 Sagem signed a contract to retrofit 24 Egyptian Air Force Mirage V. As far as I know, the aircraft should have been retrofitted in Egypt and not in France (to be confirmed), somewhat like the Libyan Mirage F1.
