French Navy 400th anniversary commemorations
Overview
France is conducting various commemorations to mark the 400th anniversary of the National Navy, tracing its origins to the creation of the State Navy by Cardinal Richelieu in 1626.
Events include an international symposium in Paris titled ‘400 years of naval operations in the French Navy’ to discuss maritime strategy and historical actions. A documentary titled ‘La grande Histoire de la Marine’ was also broadcast to explore the Navy’s strategic role using 3D reconstructions and footage from the Orion 2026 military exercise.
Regional celebrations include a submarine model exhibition in La Seyne-sur-Mer showcasing technological evolution from the steam era to nuclear fuel cells. In Les Sables-d'Olonne, ceremonies focused on historical memory and youth engagement, resulting in the announcement of a new coastal reserve squadron to be officially commanded early next year.
