Military posters: bring the field into your home

Mur de posters Défense Zone encadrés au-dessus d'un buffet

The photographs published in Défense Zone come from our reports: on the Argentière glacier with the mountain troops and the PGHM (the Gendarmerie’s high-mountain rescue unit), on the bridge of a French Navy ship, in a dugout canoe on the Maroni. Some of these images are now available as prints, so you can keep a little of that terrain at home.

Photos from our reports

Each poster reproduces a photograph taken during a Défense Zone report, and its product page tells what it shows. The frigate Courbet at sea, a French Navy diver being winched up by helicopter, an officer of the watch facing the sea off French Guiana, a military dugout canoe on the Maroni or a heliborne insertion of the Mountain Commando Group: so many scenes you may have discovered in the magazine.

The full collection brings together more than 90 posters, from the French Foreign Legion to the special forces.

Three finishes, to suit your interior

Une même photo en trois finitions : cadre bois noir, cadre chêne et aluminium Dibond

Each photo can be ordered as:

  • Poster only: 200 g semi-gloss photo paper, in A3 (29.7 × 42 cm), 40 × 60 cm or 50 × 70 cm, compatible with a standard frame.
  • Black wood or oak frame: print on 200 g matt paper, pine frame and Plexiglas, delivered ready to hang, in A3, 40 × 60 cm or 50 × 70 cm.
  • Aluminium: direct print on 3 mm Dibond, matt finish, hanging system supplied, in 40 × 60 cm or 60 × 90 cm.

The black frame gives a graphic wall, oak warms up a room, aluminium offers a frameless look. Nothing stops you mixing all three on the same wall.

Building a wall by theme

Trois murs de posters Défense Zone : Marine, Montagne et Guyane

Three or four photos from the same theatre tell a story. A few ideas:

You will also find series devoted to the French Foreign Legion, the French Air and Space Force, the parachute brigade, the special forces, Operation Barkhane, Djibouti and the International Military Pilgrimage.

Large format for a living space

Poster plongeur hélitreuillé de la Marine nationale en grand format aluminium au-dessus d'un fauteuil

Above a sofa or a desk, a single photo is enough. Aluminium goes up to 60 × 90 cm and hangs without a frame, thanks to the system supplied. Wide landscapes suit it well, such as the diver being winched up, between sky and sea.

A gift idea

For a serviceman or woman, a veteran or an enthusiast, a poster of their service, their unit or their theatre of operations speaks to them straight away. Posters start at €45 and delivery is free in France on orders over €50.
