The Cercle National des Armées is an administrative organisation with social and cultural vocation endowed with statutory corporation. It has a two fold vocation :

• for active duty, retired or honorary officers, it is a place for meeting and exchange thus acting to perpetuate the traditions, the grandeur and the prestige of the officer's status ;
• for the French Ministry of Defense high-ranking authorities, it is a place for welcoming their guests whether civil or military, French or foreign.
