The Foreign Legion Museum is both the sanctuary and the showcase of this mythical troupe.

The permanent exhibition plunges the visitor into an epic which begins in 1831 until our days, through a sober and elegant design.

Since its inception the Foreign Legion was all the campaigns conducted by the French army. The ends of the Kabylie up to the Afghanistan via Dahomey and Annam, legionnaire saw wire eras, the theatres of operations and the evolution of the techniques of war, change its equipment and of course, his uniforms.

Without disappearing, the pageantry of the uniforms of the 19th century gradually gave way to a strict functionalism marked by cuts, shapes, the renewal of the colors changing. Combat clothing gradually adopt Khaki, color that is now widespread. The camouflage, designed to blend into the landscape, print also flourished in all the armies of the world before making fury on the catwalks of the fashion shows.
