The 1st Infantry Regiment (Шаблон:Lang-fr) or 1^er RI is an infantry regiment of the French Army, founded in 1479Шаблон:Citation needed as one of the oldest regiments in active service in the world. It is an offspring of the Шаблон:Lang under the Ancien Régime, and one of the five oldest regiments in France. It particularly distinguished itself, as the Шаблон:Lang, during the French Revolutionary Wars at the Battles of Fleurus (1794), Messkirch (1800) and Biberach (1800). The regiment has been patroned by the city of Saint-Amand-Montrond since 12 April 2003.
