THE LEGION CONSTITUTES AN INDIVISIBLE WHOLE…

From the general to the merest private, all legionnaires have one purpose : to serve France professionally and well.

The relationship between those who give the orders and those who receive them comes from a highly developped "esprit de corps" based on a few basic principles :

 discipline and honor,
 a liking for work well done,
 an attachment to the past, reinforced by strong traditions. The traditions of the Foreign Legion are expressed by:

 its special uniform,
 its music and songs,
 its solemn pace for parades,
 its ceremonies particular to the Foreign Legion
