Every July 14 in Paris, during the parade on the Champs-Élysées, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion are among the most anticipated. Of these soldiers, we know above all the feats of arms in the most dangerous theaters of operation on the planet. For months, we have followed the scenes of their selection and training. These new recruits learn to fight, to live together and, above all, to unite. But at each step, the aspiring legionnaires risk elimination. Director: Frédéric Cristea

  • What i love about the legion, men who could not communicate and could possibly be enemies under other circumstances become both allies, brothers and unquestionable loyalty. Every single man there is a volunteer. There are no conscription. Every man chose the legion.

    It's a lot better today compared when i did it. Government did a heavy crackdown after people died during training and just brutal punishments being thrown around. You had beatings and 2-3 hours of sleep during basics with people hallucinating and what not . We had more than one just breaking and more than one person being sent to a mental felicity. You can train great soldiers without breaking them. Glad to see it has moved forward and i hope it's not just because cameras are around.

  • As an American pmc I was at camp lemonade. Had a bad experience with some locals that tried to take me for money. I was able to rock my way out the window and running down the street carrying my laptop and backpack. A legionare jeep passed me and asked me if I needed a ride. Their were about 5 guys left that were chasing me. The legionares took care of them and saved my butt. Great bunch of guys

    Château de Puivert (Puivert Castle), scene of the movie "The ninht gate" by Roman Polanski, starring Johnny Depp. It must be a privilege to spend the night on that historical spot. The Legion has that privilege.
