The Quartier des Alpins in Bourg-Saint-Maurice hosted the Diables Bleus of the 7th Battalion of Alpine Hunters (BCA) until 2012. This memorial site offers an opportunity to discover the Haute Tarentaise valley and the defensive structures built to protect and control communication routes to Italy. It provides a chance to explore the local military history, including its organization, the construction of fortifications, the battles, and the men who gave their lives for our freedom and peace.
«I, Marie, am proud to be part of this elite unit, part of the 27th Alpine Division specialising in mountain warfare. Its missions call for endurance, autonomy, tolerance of extreme conditions, cool heads and team spirit. During the past twenty years, we have served abroad: Mali, Afghanistan, Chad, Lebanon, Bosnia, Kosovo... as well as on French territory. Our motto: “The Battalion of Iron and Steel".»

Adopted in 1891, the beret, or “tarte”, quickly became the emblem of the Alpine Hunters. The hat is big enough to protect from the sun or to keep feet warm during long guard duties in the mountains.
During the First World War, the Alpine Hunters were sent to the Vosges. In 1915, they fought “like lions” against German troops, who were very impressed and dubbed them the “Blue Devils” because of their blue uniform.
