- Note
- "The National Order of the Legion of Honour (French: Ordre national de la Légion d´honneur), formerly the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour (Ordre royal de la Légion d´honneur), is the highest French order of merit, both military and civil. Established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, it has been retained (and slightly altered) by all later French governments and régimes.
The order´s motto is Honneur et Patrie ("Honour and Fatherland"), and its seat is the Palais de la Légion d´Honneur next to the Musée d´Orsay, on the left bank of the Seine in Paris.[a]
The order is divided into five degrees of increasing distinction: Chevalier (Knight), Officier (Officer), Commandeur (Commander), Grand officier (Grand Officer), and Grand-croix (Grand Cross)." - (en.wikipedia.org 21.01.2022)
