While the infantry was perhaps not the most glamorous arm of service in the Grande Armée, they bore the brunt of most of the fighting, and their performance resulted in victory or defeat. The infantry was divided up into two major types, the Infantry of the Line (Infanterie de Ligne) and the Light Infantry (Infanterie ...

The line infantry made up the majority of the Grande Armée.

Grenadiers were the elite of the line infantry and the veteran shock troops of the Grande Armée.

Voltigeurs (literally, Vaulters or Leapers) were elite light infantry of the line regiments.
