The French mountain infantry soldiers (chasseurs alpins) wear a distinctive piece of headgear: an oversized beret they call "la tarte" (the pie). Its wide wool design offers practical protection against cold, sun and snow, and the shape allows versatile use in field conditions. It also serves as a distinctive unit symbol reflecting alpine military heritage. #France #Greenland
