On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Bazeilles in 1870, also known as the "Feast" of the French Marines, the EMSOME (Special Staff for Overseas and Foreign Affairs) publishes this book which traces the history of the French Marines through their uniforms from the first half of the 17th century to the present day.
Using an exquisite selection of exhibits from the collection of the Museum of the Naval Forces in Fréjus, this commemorative book illustrates the eventful history of the French Naval Forces from their creation in the 1620s as the "Compagnies de la Mer" during the chancellorship of Cardinal Richelieu to the foreign deployments of today.
