This edit changes the "Z" list of "Legion of Honour" recipients as follows: 1) Trials out the new format for the "Legion of Honour" medal information, i.e. a structured "table" format, instead of a random incoherent and chaotic "text-based list" format; 2) Adds inline citations to evidence each entry's data; 3) Populates each data category for every entry with information in a standard format.

The following is a '''list of some notable Légion d'honneur recipients''' by name. The [[Légion d'honneur]] is the highest order of France. A complete, chronological list of the members of the Legion of Honour nominated from the very first ceremony in 1803 to now does not exist. The number is estimated at one million including about 3,000 Grand Cross.<ref>Wattel, Michel et Béatrice, ''Les Grand Croix de la Légion d'honneur. De 1805 à nos jours, titulaires français et étrangers'', Archives et Culture, 2009</ref>
The following is a non-exhaustive list of recipients of the [[Légion d'honneur]] awards, since the first ceremony in 1803. The number of total recipients is estimated to be close to one million, including over 3,000 Grand Cross recipients.<ref>{{cite news|first1=Michel|last1=Wattel|first2=Béatrice|last2=Wattel|title=Les Grand Croix de la Légion d'honneur.

The French government gives out these awards based on a recipient's exemplary services rendered to France, or to the causes supported by France, whether they be French<ref>Légion Code, article 16.</ref> or foreign<ref>''Les étrangers qui se seront signalés par les services qu’ils ont rendus à la France ou aux causes qu’elle soutient'', Légion Code, art. 128.</ref> nationals. This award is divided into five distinct ranks: [[Knight]], Officer, [[Commander (order)|Commander]], Grand Officer and [[Grand Cross]]. Commander is the highest civilian category for a non-French citizen, and requires a minimum of five years in the Officer rank. The Grand Officer and the Grand Cross are awarded only to French citizens.<ref>{{cite web|title=Michelle Yeoh receives France's highest civilian honour|first=Florey|last=DM|website=Cinema Online|date=29 March 2017|url=http://www.cinema.com.my/articles/news_details.aspx?search=2017.n_michellereceivesfrancecivilianhonour_34756|access-date=20 July 2021|url-status=live|archive-url=https://ia601403.us.archive.org/31/items/2021-07-20a-michelle-yeoh/2021-07-20a%20Michelle%20Yeoh.pdf|archive-date=20 July 2021}}</ref>

Revision as of 10:14, 20 July 2021

The following is a non-exhaustive list of recipients of the Légion d'honneur awards, since the first ceremony in 1803. The number of total recipients is estimated to be close to one million, including over 3,000 Grand Cross recipients.[1]

The French government gives out these awards based on a recipient's exemplary services rendered to France, or to the causes supported by France, whether they be French[2] or foreign[3] nationals. This award is divided into five distinct ranks: Knight, Officer, Commander, Grand Officer and Grand Cross. Commander is the highest civilian category for a non-French citizen, and requires a minimum of five years in the Officer rank. The Grand Officer and the Grand Cross are awarded only to French citizens.[4]
