The 76 e régiment d'infanterie was an infantry regiment of the royal French army. Before the numbering of regiments was introduced on January 1, 1791, it was last named Régiment de Châteauvieux . It was originally a so-called foreign regiment (Régiment étranger) and until 1792 consisted exclusively of Swiss. It was set up in 1677 and was involved in the Nancy mutiny ( Nancy Affair ) in 1790 . According to the special contract ( surrender ) with the Swiss Confederation , the Swiss regimental members were after the death of King Louis XVI. Paid out and released in 1792, the regiment disbanded.

- After Napoléon Bonaparte's first abdication and the restoration of the monarchy (first restoration ), the regiment with its number was kept in service in the royal army, also during the reign of the Hundred Days . After Napoleon's final deposition, his army was dismissed and reorganized with only 75 regiments. The former 76 e régiment d'infanterie fell victim to the reduction.
- By imperial decree of October 24, 1854, the 1 er régiment d'infanterie légère (1st light infantry regiment) was converted into the 76 e régiment d'infanterie .
Ordinance flags
The regiment carried eight flags, one of which was owned by the regiment owner (Colonel) and that of the personal company. The flags of the seven other companies were the same, but designed according to the ideas of the respective regiment owner.

Mestres de camp / Colonels
Mestre de camp was from 1569 to 1661 and from 1730 to 1780 the denomination of rank for the regiment holder and / or for the officer in charge of the regiment. The name "Colonel" was used from 1721 to 1730, from 1791 to 1793 and from 1803 onwards.
After 1791 there were no more regimental owners.
Should the Mestre de camp / Colonel be a person of the high nobility who had no interest in leading the regiment (such as the king or queen), the command was given to the "Mestre de camp lieutenant" (or “Mestre de camp en second”) or the “Colonel-lieutenant” or “Colonel en second”.
