Nice, isn't it ? And did you notice the change of rhythm at 0:58 ? You did ? And do you know why ? This part is nothing less than the "Artilleur de Metz" ("Metz Gunner"), a very bawdy military song whose lyrics I hesitate to tell you...
The title of this video is misleading because the only men from the Saint-Cyr, French national military officers academy are those with red trousers. All the other units in this parade are from other services.
It's because the "Galette" is the most used march for the défilés... Just Legion and Chasseurs (infantry ones) have a different march because Legionnaires are far slowlier and Chasseurs are going far faster... From a former staff sergeant of the 16°BCP (16° Bataillon de Chasseurs à Pied)
Only misleading since Saint Cyr is one of the name of this song, depending on the brawly content of the words.. nowadays as happily sung by men and women...
He has another version of this song posted too he titled La Galette Also “La Galette” is a soldier’s common name for the song, Saint-Cyr was a Napoleonic marshal who got this song named after him after his death during Napoleon III’s rule. Galette is literally a french food

But they are all military schools. Saint Cyr is effectively the most operational, oriented to the "field combat".
