If you've read the book and still have questions, or even if you haven't and want to ask something, you can E-mail me at: mail@foreignlegionlife.com and I'll do my best to respond. Your comments are always welcome.

Further Legion phone numbers and addresses you may find of assistance are as follows:

• Bureau de Recrutement de la Légion Étrangère (Foreign Legion Recruiting Office) Phone: 04 42 18 82 57. You can also write to them and request information at: Quartier Viénot, 13400 Aubagne, France. They won't send you much but this is an avenue you may want to explore.

• To reach the central switchboard in Aubagne you can phone: 04 42 18 82 99. They will likely connect you to the Recruiting Office number for any requests for information, but the switchboard is staffed 24 hours a day.

All communications with the Legion should be in French if possible. Someone who speaks English may or may not be available to translate your phone call or letter. They probably won't expend a lot of effort doing this.

Contact numbers for the recruiting centres are listed under Preliminaries in the "Where To Join" section.

You can contact the publisher of "Life in the French Foreign Legion: How To Join and What To Expect When You Get There" as follows:
