On November 11, 2025, detachments of the French Foreign Legion participated in ceremonies marking Armistice Day, honoring the memory of military veterans and those who died in the line of duty.
While in many English-speaking countries this day is known as Veterans Day or Remembrance Day, in France it continues to commemorate the 1918 armistice signed between the Allies and Germany, which brought an end to World War I. Since 2012, the day has also been dedicated to honoring all soldiers who have died for France.
Take a look at some of the Foreign Legion units that paid tribute to the fallen legionnaires and other French soldiers. As usual, the ceremonies were held across France and abroad.
