We prove the Legendre Necessary Condition of the Calculus of Variations in Mean an arbitrary finite dimension. When the Lagrangian is convex, we establish that if the Euler-Lagrange equation possesses an almost periodic solution then it possesses periodic and constant solutions. We deduce from this fact various consequences on the structure of the set of almost periodic solutions.
