<span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: ‘Lucida Sans’;" class="R~sep~ACopyBody">Years ago we used to hear about men joining the French Foreign Legion. Is it still possible to join the French Foreign Legion?</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">Yes, but you can only do so in France.</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">“The Foreign legion only recruits applicants actually reporting at an information desk … or at a preselection center … located in Metropolitan France,” reads the English version of the Foreign Legion’s website.</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">“Accommodation and food are free during the whole selection process,” the site reads.</span>

<span class="R~sep~ACopyBody">“The Foreign legion does not facilitate any administrative steps taken by applicants to obtain a visa or a residence permit in France.”</span>
