Yes it does, however it is no longer a place were convicts can escape there past. They will most likely turn you in, if you have a criminal past. I you want to join go to France and walk into a recruiting office and sign up. they will give a physical test and if you pass you have to surrender you pass port and you wont see it again for 5 years. No you do to have to speak french you Will learn it.
