So, how to join the French Foreign Legion? The only possibility to join the Foreign
Legion is to go to mainland France (in EUROPE) and knock on the door of one of the
Foreign Legion recruiting centers (free board, lodging and clothing are immediately
provided by the Legion). You will be enlisted as a single man, even if you are married.
The first contract you sign up is for 5 years.

to facilitate the process of selection and recruitment (ID card, passport,

with filiations will be required before the end of the first year of contract (so
it is better to take it with you).
