The Passage Company of the Foreign Legion (French: Compagnie de Passage de la Légion étrangère (CPLE)) of Saigon was a logistics handling operation of the French Foreign Legion, in Cochinchina, and based at fort de Cay May. In 1950, the CPLE of Saigon counted (years where the units of the Legion in Indochina amounted to 20,000 men) 21,389 passengers of all ranks, the company also registered 14 tons of baggage and almost 125,000 letters transmitted.

Passengers passing by Fort of Cay May would find numerous services available to them on base. There was a lobby (with a lounge area and a small sundries shop), an Information Center, a library, a Literacy Center that taught reading and writing, a barber shop, sports fields, and a 500-seat cinema. The CPLE, which depended on the military base of Saigon, received a satisfactory rating for the company's action during the French withdrawal. The unit was dissolved on October 31, 1955.
