They wear a leather apron. This is a symbol of their skills and ability at handling tools, as they are known for being able to build everything... out of nothing. The verb "saper" (prononce "sah-pay") means to destroy foundations (of a wall, a bridge, etc.) from underground. It takes roots in the Middle-age, when the best way to ruin a castle was to dig under its walls, then set a fire up underneath until the stones would crack and break, then attack through the opening. The "Sapeurs" are suppose to open the road for their fellow Légionnaires to arrive and start the fight. This is why they carry an axe on the rightside shoulder, the tool to open roads and paths (through the rough). Their beard is a proof they can live in the outside for a long time without any worry. They need no shaving to keep their image and appearance constant, and they can pack fewer things for their hygiene. But don't get fooled : they have a high standard when it comes to their look, and you hardly will find anything wrong in their uniform or condition. They lead the leaders ( = the Légion étrangère) because their fundamental mission is to be the very first to arrive at any given place. They start working no matter the environment, so the place is "ready" when other units and vehicules arrive later on. Everyone in the French military (air, sea, ground, etc.) know they depend heavily on the "Sapeurs" to open and clear the way. Who are deeply respected for that.
Very accurate answer, great ! Just one more point : sapeur is the generic word for this function in 'regular' French Army. In Foreign Legion they are known as the 'Pionniers', the first in the column to open the way.
This task is carried by the assault pioneers in British regiments, large engineering works at brigade level are carried by the Corps of Royal Engineers. also note assault pioneers sergeants traditional have beards
88 paces per minute where the other brigades march at 110 paces. And they don't split up before the presidential tribune. In French : La Legion ne se divise pas
The slow march is a tribute to the men who patrolled the harsh north african desserts. The Kepi Blanc or white caps signify the bleaching of the hot sun. This is a branch that deserves respect!
Slight correction: The 88 step per minute march rhythm of the Legion has nothing to do with North African deserts, but was inherited from "Ancien Régime" (actually rather "Restauration" era) and napoleonic troops. Your explanation of the white képi is however correct. It was originally kaky brown, but was quickly bleached white by the sun... hence was later made white.
I was once lucky to witness a legion funeral while on a trip to Paris. True solemnity and superbly impressive my wife and I both just stood quietly back and to this day I feel honored to have witnessed it. These guys earned the right to swagger, much respect.
Always thrilling... but did you know the Legion has other special features than its multi-national composition ? Its flags bear the words "Honneur et fidélité" when other French regiments bear the words "Honneur et patrie" on their flag. When in parade, the Legion is the only unit which plays the music by its own band, and they are the only unit which doesn't split in two when arriving in front of the presidential stand
I had a friend who had been a British soldier in Africa and at one point had served alongside a unit from the Legion.he described them as the best soldiers that he had ever served alongside.
I first saw legionnaires at Lord Mountbatten's funeral in London in 1979. A very impressive bunch of lads, and it was very moving with their slow, almost plodding march. respect to you guys!

The guys with the axe and apron are pioneers/sappers. The pioneer's beard is a tradition inherited from the sappers of the Great Army (Napoleon's). Legend has it that the latter took an oath to shave only if they returned alive. Since the pioneers attacked first to open breaches in defense work (hence the tools), their life expectancy was very low.
A l'origine les légionnaires étaient aussi des "sapeurs" , des soldats capables d'établir des fortifications de campagne, ou de "saper" (creuser par en dessous des fortifications adverses).

The Legion itself is open to men aged 18-40 and the average age is 23 I am not sure what the average age of the Pioneers is. The Pioneers Les Pionniers de la Légion étrangère were very common in the French Army during the Napoleonic Era. Legion. Within the French Army, the Legion remains the only unit keeping the tradition of bearded pioneers/sappers.
The Foreign Legion anthem playing is Le Boudin. At first glance it appears they are honoring blood sausage. In reality it is far deeper. La Camaron! Viva La Legion!
So what is the significance of the beards and the axes and leather pini's.....also must be quite difficult for the front guys to keep time not swinging their arm's while marching. How come.......pretty smart though!
They are the pioneers (kind of engineers of the Infantry), they represent the tradition of constructing (roads, bridges and so on) that is part and parcel of the Legion.
La barbe est celle des soldats en campagne isolés au fin fond du monde. La hache est celle des sapeurs qui construisaient ou demolissaient autrefois les ponts de bois ou forment des abris. Le tablier de cuir est l'outil qui protege le sapeur au travail. Et le képi blanc est celui blanchi par le temps, le soleil et la pluie.
Too bad ''le clairon'' (the FAMAS) is no longer in service with most branches of the French armed forces. A unique looking bullpup rifle. The weapons factory that produced it closed down in 2002 I believe. Anyhow thanks for bringing us this parade.

I had a young girl come to me for advice. Her brother and his best friend had decided to join French Foreign Legion. She had just found out they had flown to France - how to tell mum. I explained that if she acted quikly all could work out - you cannot join the Legion from inside France!
I have no idea what you want to say. People who want to join the legion have to travel to mainland France and present themselves in one of the recruiting centers. There is one in the largest cities. Perhaps you are confused. French citizens are officially not allowed to enlist as a soldier in the legion. In older times, French citizens who wanted to join as a soldiers gave a Belgian or Swiss nationality and the legion did its best not to find out but those times have long gone.
@@peterpluim7912 You are misleading people, any French person can enlist in the Foreign Legion and they are highly sought after, because they are the ones who transmit the language and assist the young people enlisted in learning and mastering French outside of the courses given during training. As a French person I enlisted as a foreigner of French-speaking nationality and if you wish you choose, or name, to be under declared identity. More Majorum
Le pas de la Légion à 88 pas/minute est le pas de l'ancien régie et des armées napoléoniennes. La Légion Etrangère, créée en 1831 n'a jamais accepté le pas à 120 pas/minute.
Pués hay quien desfila a 160 pasos por minuto y hasta hace unos años desfilaba a 180 pasos por minuto, me refiero a la Legion Española. También hay un cuerpo en España que desfila muy lento a 90 pasos por minuto pero cambian sobre la marcha a 160 pasos o viceversa, este cuerpo és Los Regulares el cuerpo más laureado de España.
Hi, when a marching formations are filmed from approaching from a distance the sound reaches the camera slower than the picture. It is best to add the sound later because if you leave the sound as was recorded on the camera then it will look as though the legionnaire's are marching out of step. Therefore on certain films, the sound is added later.
Joli montage, pas très synchro; la levée des clairons s’effectue alors qu’ils jouent. Redoublement du refrain suite aux trois coups.

As a drill instructor I an intrigued by their marching. It is so nonchalant.
The slow march comes from marching through the sands of North Africa and Mexico; slow and steady makes one ready.

Ils sont nos meilleurs hommes ....
Znakomici e wyszkoleni żołnierze . idą w takt hymnu Legii jak walec nie do zatrzymania , dumni i pewni siebie .Nie istnieją żadne podziały polityczne , religijne i obyczajowe mają jeden cel : honor i duma Francji
No me extraña que un legionario de la Legion Extrangera, se asombrara en un video de la velocidad que desfila la Legion Española(160 pasos por minuto), Porque creo que la Legion Extranjera desfila más lento que los Regulares (con el paso lento).
