The Prince’s Carabinieri Corps welcomes the Cadets of the French National Gendarmerie

Thirty cadets from the Gendarmerie of the Alpes-Maritimes were welcomed by the Prince’s Carabinieri for a day of discovery this Saturday. They received a detailed presentation of the Carabinieri Corps, including its personnel, technical resources, and protection infrastructure. Then, they had the opportunity to visit the Museum of the Princes and Their Guards, where they explored the history and role of the Carabinieri. At the end of the morning, they shared a meal at the Moneghetti Barracks mess hall.

The afternoon focused on raising the young cadets’ awareness of environmental and economic security issues, with an emphasis on marine area protection. Through presentations from the OCLAESP (Central Office for Combating Environmental and Public Health Violations), the Maritime Gendarmerie, and the “economic security” division, they gained hands-on insight into the Gendarmerie’s missions in these areas. This initiative aligns with the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC 2025) to be held in Nice in June 2025, with a theme centered on the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources.

To deepen their understanding of maritime issues, they also visited the Oceanographic Institute, where they explored the challenges related to marine conservation.
