Each year there is a massive parade on the Champs Elysées. This year the Maratha Light Infantry will join the numerous troops partaking in the event.

A little history about the unit, from wiki "It was formed as the 103rd Maharattas in 1768, making it the most senior light infantry regiment of the Army."
