🎼 On August 30, 1795, France picked “La Marseillaise” as its anthem—a tune that swept through the Revolution, then echoed at parades, protest marches, and football matches all across Paris. Written by a soldier overnight, the lyrics are all about fighting for freedom.
Fun fact: The anthem is so dramatic, it’s been performed everywhere from the Opéra Garnier to outer space!
What’s the most powerful song you’ve ever heard performed live in Paris?
