Members of the Legion of Honour |
"The Legion of Honour is the highest national decoration established after the French Revolution. It rewards the outstanding merits of citizens in all walks of life, regardless of social, economic or hereditary backgrounds. ."(web site of the Grand Chancellery of the Legion of Honour) |
The long list of French citizens who have been recognized with the Legion of Honour includes 14 Pilons and 29 Pillons. The French Ministry of Culture maintains an online database of recipients of this decoration and from that resource we constructed the list below. These individuals should serve as models and sources of pride for us all. |
