The collar is usually kept in the [[Musée de la Légion d'honneur|Musée de la Legion d'Honneur]].]]

Since the establishment of the Legion, the Grand Master of the order has always been the Emperor, King or President of France. [[President of France|President]] [[Emmanuel Macron]] therefore became the Grand Master of the Legion on 14 May 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Passation de pouvoir entre François Hollande et Emmanuel Macron |work=Public Senat |date=14 May 2017 |access-date=9 May 2021 |url= https://www.publicsenat.fr/article/politique/elysee-passation-de-pouvoir-entre-francois-hollande-et-emmanuel-macron-60574 |language=fr }}</ref>

The Grand Master appoints all other members of the order, on the advice of the French government. The Grand Master's insignia is the [[Grand Collar]] of the Legion. The President of the Republic, as Grand Master of the order, receives the Collar as part of his investiture, but the Grand Masters have not worn the Collar since [[Valéry Giscard d'Estaing]].<ref name=France24>{{Cite web |title=France's legion of honour: Who makes the cut and how? |publisher=FRANCE 24 English |work=France in Focus |via=YouTube |date=27 January 2019 |access-date=9 May 2021 |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW3d58Ckbi0 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211028/mW3d58Ckbi0| archive-date=28 October 2021}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
