What’s in a name? At Square de la Marseillaise, the answer echoes with the spirit of a nation. Opened in 1972, this tranquil square in the 19th arrondissement is much more than just a green space. It carries the name of France’s national anthem, “La Marseillaise.” This powerful hymn, composed in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, wasn’t always known by that name. Originally titled “Chant de guerre pour l’Armée du Rhin,” meaning “War Song for the Army of the Rhine,” it gained its popular name from the fédérés of Marseille. These volunteer soldiers, marching to Paris, sang the song with such fervor that it became forever linked to their city. It embodies the revolutionary spirit, a call to arms against tyranny and oppression. Standing here, in the heart of Square de la Marseillaise, you can almost hear the echoes of those passionate voices, a reminder of the power of unity and the fight for liberty that continues to inspire France today.
