Was that what caused camouflaged uniforms to be banned inside of France? Because of the assassination attempt on DeGaulle?

My memory is that the Legion and Paras could not wear camouflage inside of France since the early 1960s.

I saw camo BDU’s worn by military police, who were carrying assault rifles, walking the concourse at DeGaul airport in May 2001. The other military I saw in France were in greens and similarly equiped.

That would be the reason. The OAS and their attempted coup.
