Courage to Honor: Treasures of Defense Service Symbolism

The Musée de la Légion d’honneur et des ordres de chevalerie brings together exceptional pieces typically kept out of sight by the Service historique de la Défense. Under the expertise of curators Jean-François Dubos, Tom Dutheil, and Marcel Joussen-Anglade, this presentation highlights insignias, flags, and prestigious objects that have shaped French military identity for decades. These emblems materialize national recognition and transform bravery into tangible symbols of metal and silk. Each exhibited piece recounts a human epic, offering a unique testimony on the evolution of honorific distinctions. Scheduled from June 4th to July 2nd, 2026, this rare selection allows you to admire the finesse of artisans' work and the richness of an often-overlooked heritage. A privileged opportunity to grasp the importance of these visual codes in French history.
