  We prove a Margulis' Lemma \`a la Besson Courtois Gallot, for manifolds whose
fundamental group is a nontrivial free product A*B, without 2-torsion.
Moreover, if A*B is torsion-free we give a lower bound for the homotopy systole
in terms of upper bounds on the diameter and the volume entropy. We also
provide examples and counterexamples showing the optimality of our assumption.
Finally we give two applications of this result: a finiteness theorem and a
volume estimate for reducible manifolds.
