    The very first rows (bearded men) are the "Sapeurs" (= plural form, with an "s"), a unique branch of the Légion étrangère. Many things can be said about them, here are a few...
    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.

    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!

    • @st-ex8506
      @st-ex8506 Месяц назад +6

      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.

    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

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.

      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). Le tablier de sapeur et la hache en sont le symbole.
      La légion étrangère a été créée en 1831 par le dernier Roi de France
      - Louis Philippe 1 er.
      Vive le Royaume de
      France ⚜️ 🇨🇵 !

    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).

      Those are the engineers, the buffalo hide apron is for protection against traps, splinters and explosives as they assault fortifications.

    I believe the weapons are loaded when French troops parade. Not so in the UK or USA, I believe. In Mexico they are loaded, but I understand that.
