Accessibility: partially compliant

The Foreign Legion is committed to making its platform accessible to everyone.

What is digital accessibility?

An accessible website is one that allows people with disabilities to access its content and features without difficulty. An accessible site allows, for example:

  • Navigating with speech synthesis and/or a braille display (particularly used by blind and visually impaired people).
  • Customizing the site display according to one's needs (enlarging or reducing characters, changing colors, etc.).
  • Navigating without using the mouse (with keyboard only, via a touch screen, by voice or any other adapted device).

To achieve this, the site must comply with the standards in force during its creation and updates.
