Those guys are no joke. Ten of them could probably quell even the biggest riot. But French law prohibits the deployment of the Legion on French soil.
I suppose that if necessary, that law could be changed.

Sounds like it is no longer French soil so problem solved.
In the interim, the French have the GIGN that could be used in a few well-chosen places. Basically a counter-terrorism SWAT unit of the French national police, they as as serious as the Kepi Blancs. Formed shortly after the '72 Munich Olympics massacre, they have been quite innovative in their tactics over the years. All that is required now is the political will to use them.
