  • I had a wonderful ten-day stay in France last week. I went to France on October 23, 2011, and returned home on November 3, 2011. I saw a lot of those sights that are shown in this video. :-D

  • One of the most stirring anthems. I can't help thinking of Casablanca when I hear this.

  • It looks from the history analogy that France would be a great prospect to have for an Allie if anything should come to a head in the military issue, not to mention they are nice, Tammy Mast, Your Royal Countess, Savior Healer

  • Is this song more motivational for waging than die wacht am rhein?

  • the more I learn about french history the more I become aware what a bunch of losers the french are.

  • @salstress

    That's why the French army defeated Italy,Spain and Egypt in 3 months?

  • VERY BEAUTIFUL FRECH NATIONAL ANTHEM

  • NICE!

  • "I'd rather be French then a fat ass American guy"? Well first of all that's a stereotype, if you or anyone actually believe all Americans are fat your pathetic. Second, there are fat men in France and there are fat Americans who also happen to be French. Try visiting a country before you judge it by the fake media.

  • vraiment belle voix. chansons cool.

  • I hate Mirelle Mathieu

  • I'd rather be french than a fatass american guy who's a result of too much junkfood :)

  • Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!!

  • @Adrimannetje Mais pas pour les noirs ou les beurs selon Laurent Blanc.

    Blacks, Blancs, Beurs - L'egalite pour nos freres!

  • krásná hymna po české hymně to je nejkrásnějčí hymna na světě

  • french is the most terrible language on earth, this sounds much better as instrumental version!

  • That is so beautiful!

  • This anthem is so nice and sophisticated

  • good

  • เรารักฝรั่งเศส

  • Why is everybody arguing? ;w; Just enjoy the music and appreciate the country for what it is, eh?

    Greetings from the USA~ :3

  • Bien que je sois un monarchiste, j'aime bien cet hymne

  • The greatest Anthem of all only thhat of the Soviet Union comes close

  • Precioso himno, muy emotivo!

    Saludos desde Mexico hasta Francia!

  • All Americans should learn this song...en France, we learn the american «star-spangeled banner» et «Plege of allegiance»

  • Indeed the best anthem :)

  • Even i like it , and i'm German !

  • She's overdoing the r's a bit, isn't she?

  • Fraternal greetings from the USA, chère république sœur. =)

  • damn french... german domination!

  • @WeekNightGaming what the hell you talking about.  Listen to the soviet national anthem with lyrics. Eat it. French is good too.

  • @DeathlyDavid the soviets are bolsheviks and the french are wusses. the great deutsches empire shall one day dominate these countries... and even the world.

  • @WeekNightGaming Yes Napoleon was a wuss. I remember him beating the Prussians at one point

  • @DeathlyDavid nobody beats the germans. i love watching the wehrmacht parade into france!

  • @WeekNightGaming nobody beats the germans? They lost both world wars. Thats kinda embarrassing to me.

  • @DeathlyDavid u wanna know why they lost? well because of the humiliation and UNFAIRNESS of the treaty of versaillese of WWI maddened a lot of germans which contributed to hitlers rise! and also you have the huge bolshevik army of russia, the brits, and americans all against them and their small allies. i am a german american and i love the military organization and the promotion of national greatness of germany at the time. i do not at all support the mass killings of jews tho.

  • @WeekNightGaming

    You might as well say "You know why the French lost (in the 19th century)? Because of the aggression of the other European powers which contributed to Napoleon's rise. And also you have the huge Russian army, the British, the Austrians and the Prussians against them and their small allies."

    No excuses. The one with the most toys at the end wins. And France has a lot of formerly German toys. (Strasbourg, Mulhouse, etc.)

  • @fontinau and germany conquered france for its part of the empire. they practically just came in with no killing!

  • @WeekNightGaming And a hundred and fifty years before that, France conquered Germany.

    They conquered you before you conquered them, and they kept more than you did. Both ways, you lose. Deal with it.

  • @fontinau where? google keeps coming up with results pointing back to my reference.

  • @WeekNightGaming I seriously doubt you're that badly informed. (Or that bad at using Google.)

    But on the off-chance that you really are being sincere, here: Google "Battle of Valmy", "Battle of Fleurus", "Battle of Ulm", "Battle of Austerlitz", "Treaty of Pressburg", "Battle of Jena", "Battle of Auerstedt", and "Treaty of Tilsit".

  • @fontinau ya i was giving u a reference. i never use/trust bad sources. those sources u gave were pretty interesting. do u think the franks should all unite?

  • @WeekNightGaming "do u think the franks should all unite?"

    If by "Franks" you mean Europeans, then yes. But only if it can be accomplished by democratic means.

  • @fontinau i mean like the germanic people.... is ur country having the rising islamic problem?

  • @WeekNightGaming There is no "rising Islamic problem". Muslim birthrates are falling almost everywhere; in some places they're already below the replacement rate, in other places they soon will be. And the main point of disagreement between the Islamic world and the West - the control that Muslim men, and particularly Muslim Middle Eastern men, exercise over Muslim women - is gradually disappearing, as the proportion of Muslim women who can read and use birth control rises.

  • @fontinau oh boy, u poor kid uninformed. have the social liberals taught you this? honestly. it's disappearing? what world do you live in? don't you see what the taliban is doing still to this day and these other islamofascists? THE WEST IS GETTING PLAYED BY THESE BUMS (extremists, not moderates)! UNLESS THIS CRISIS IS STOPPED, WE, AMERICA AND EUROPE AS A UNION, ARE DONE!

  • @WeekNightGaming

    "nobody beats the germans "

    ??

    what ?!!! lol

    Do you come from Mars and you dont know the History ?? lol

    Or do you are a retarded blind ? (I think this second reason ^^)

    2 World Wars in the 20th century for examples

    and ??

    2 big defeat for Germans ^^

    it is not enough for you like big defeats or do you want I quote all the numerous defeats of germans peoples in the last 800 years for another example ?

  • @cumbas oh and you are saying the french win wars? HAHAHAHAHA! germany in the first world war was spit on and the 2nd hitler screwed the country up. germany is a great nation with a leading economy in europe!

  • @WeekNightGaming

    1a)

    ???

    LOL

    I saw more idiots non-educated in my life but such retarded like you never ^^

    it's sure now you come from Mars to say such idioties and know such lies about History LOL

    But yes crazy little dick you are right Germany won the WW1 & even the WW2 & now it is the little son of Hitler & the gestapo who drive the world OMG !!

    AHAHAHAH

  • @WeekNightGaming

    2a)

    I understand and know especially now that you are a poor guy with a poor life, a complexed virgin also sure who try to attract the interest on him by provocations

    A shit of humanity what

    And sorry I dont speak usually with shit of humanity and retarded like you

    So bye bye

    

  • @WeekNightGaming

    3a)

    But oh I see now you are not German & from Germany but from the retarded USA (I think so a little dick neo-nazi LOL)

    & I understand all now AHAHAHAHA

    & I am to relieve also because you are not an European Compatriot & brother from Germany ^^

    It was not possible that a brother from Germany speak & is retarded like you LOL

    Thus little shit to finish with you & for your education :

  • @WeekNightGaming

    4a-end)

    "There have been 53 major wars in Europe

    France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43.

    In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10.

    Giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe".

    & it is not by me but the "BBC History" ^^

    I add more that France was often alone vs a big coalition of allies, all the opposite of others countries often behind a big alliance :-)

  • @cumbas listen you little uneducated bastard. first of all what the hell are u saying? u can't speak english so either learn it or don't reply, prick. i certainly know more history than you because u obviously didn't go to school. did i say that germany won ww1 or 2? no. i said that germany has always and will win. look at the french. it makes me laugh. why didn't we hear much of them in ww2? we always hear that the british, US, and USSR were the big allies! & like i said, hitler was a prick!

  • @WeekNightGaming wow dude you're totally wrong... you lose.

  • @supergerry95 hahaha i look at this conversation and it is amusing! the german anthem fills me with inspiration, doesn't it you?

  • I'm German but i like French women.. but not men because they have no balls

  • Fuck you sad Teutonic piece of shit

  • Vive la France - from New Zealand. - Beautiful anthem.

  • singorina elfiora del mondo bella bella

  • Forget the 'French Surrenger-Monger' misconception. War is the business of the French, and they do it well (Hemingway). The French only lost the line at the Ardennes because they hadn't recovered the 4,000,000 men they lost in the First World War. Don't forget the Somme, or Verdun, or Mons.

    The French have a long and unbelievably illustrious battle record stretching back for centuries, don't knock what you don't know or can't back up.

    "Voila du Boudin"!

  • pfff...18 people are probably American or British

    vive notre France.

  • @burtoncaly viva votre France!!!

  • one of the best anthem in the world.

  • Fantastic anthem!

    Greetings from England!

  • just saying but i think americans are pathetic. the went to war with the nazis and claimed that they won and had heroes etc but post war europe was left in ruins and they didnt do anything to help rebuild it or anything.

  • @SniperAngle12 Marshall Plan?

  • @SniperAngle12 and they only came in for the last 2 years, the rest of europe are proper hardcore, toughed it out for 6. although respect yo america for helping us in the end

  • @SniperAngle12 Err? The west side did much better then the east controlled by Soviet Union.

  • i take french at my school. 

  • YOU ROCK FRANCE- FROM THE USA

    FRENCH TRANSLATION: Vous balancez la France de : Les Etats-Unis d'Amérique

  • (English translation)

    Come on, children of the Motherland - the enemy has arrived!

    Against any tyrant we always raise the white banner. [repeat]

    Do you hear in the countryside the sobs of our cowardly soldiers?

    They flee now for Mummy's arms, abandoning sons and wives!

    -

    Drop your arms, citizens! Flee the battle!

    Let's run! Let's run!

    Steaming urine discolours our sans-culottes!

  • @PresidentZod The french army have always been the bravest

  • @LinkandMarioman LOL, maybe the french foreign legion, but the rest of the army is pathetic, the english army is so much tougher

  • nations are not about people. c'est la coeur, mein Lieber

  • nations are not about people. c'est la couer, mein Lieber

  • Vive la France

    Vimy Ridge!

    Respect from Canada!

  • respect from italy........

  • you saved us us in the rev. war, we saved you in WW2, let's shut up, not fight and enjoy a beutiful song

  • Coréens mangent les chiens fous!

    Je pense que les Français ne mangent jamais de chiens.

    S'il vous plaît arrêter de manger Coréens chiens!

  • As an American citizen, I unlike many other of my brethren, have not forgot the huge role that the French played in the American Revolution. The saved our ass from the British, and we helped clear out the Nazis. I would like to further distance myself from those who claim that the French "owe' us. They owe us nothing. Never thought I would say this...but God Bless the French.

  • @PedroahTheDestroah As an American citizen and a dedicated Francophile, I also have not forgotten the role that the French government played in the American revolution. Over 200 million dollars were spent on our revolution by the French, leading to the downfall of Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette and their subsequent beheadings.

    And let us not forget the Vichy Government during WW II. We need to respect France and what they did for our country.

  • @PedroahTheDestroah You're not the only American. I'm not very patriotic about the US anymore since i read about all the terrible things in the name of "Liberty" and crap covered up by propaganda (the USA vs Native Americans=Nazis extermination jews) The French won us the Revolution. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

  • @PedroahTheDestroah So did the British you nob!!!!

  • @PedroahTheDestroah Vive Revolution, Vive le France! It is the truth!

  • @PedroahTheDestroah Especially when you consider the fact that the French asked for help after our own revolutionary victory and we had to refuse them because we were a weakened fledgling country and the founding fathers were afraid that our stability was fragile. Well, it took long enough, but we did come through, eventually. They are our brothers and sisters in spirit and we should show them a lot more respect than the loons on the right wing do.

  • @PedroahTheDestroah A warm salute from a french citizen to you my friend !

  • @PedroahTheDestroah They owe us their country, as much as we owe them ours. If it wasn't for rivers of American blood they'd al be speaking German and saluting the swastika. Get your history straight. The French paid in blood to create America, America paid in blood to save France. We are allies consecrated in blood. One owes no more than the other. God Bless America, and Vive La France!

  • @karlmoles65

    And if it wasn for Lafayette--you'd be kissing British butt! Wise up man!

  • @PlainzRyder Can you just not read or what??? What part of "The French paid in blood to create America" didn't you get!?!?!

  • @karlmoles65 I'm really sorry--I was reading another comment! I clicked on the wrong name by error! Sorry--God Bless!

  • @PlainzRyder It's ok, thanks for being so nice about it! God bless you too!

  • @karlmoles65 the brits sort of helped too

  • @mackshayster By having mostly incompetent leadership? Yep.

  • Who is this singer?

  • @Audinos

    Mireille Mathieu

  • Such an appropriate and powerful anthem. Vive la France!

  • Il y en 17 qui n'aiment pas la Marseillaise ... bah ... que ces crétins aillent au diable, s'il veut bien de ces déchets. ^^

  • The best anthem greets from Serbia :-)

  • @WordLuka hi. i bet it's not exactly written but... let's go:

    kace kuca u oči se gleda and let's sing raspi raspi!

    i'm sorry, i never managed to find it written somewhere...

    [...] је срце србија ;) (i just don't prevent from the haters. but well.. we know it.)

  • Je suis un américain qui aime mon pays et la France et les françaises aussi. J'étudiais le passé. Mais je regarde le présent et le futur. Chacun les pays, la France et les États-Unis, auraient beaucoup de l'amitié pour l'autre. Nous sommes les alliés très vraisemblables.

    I said I'm an American who loves both America and France and also the French. I study the past but look to the present. We should be good friends because we're natural allies

    Vive la France, Dieu bénit les États-Unis

  • Who sings this version? The voice sounds similar?

  • @ayesha12383  it 's mireille mathieu who sing this version

  • @ayesha12383 it is sung by the incomparable Mireille Mathieu

  • Vive la France! Viva ses gens, sa langue si douce et si charmante, vive sa culture! Vive la France! Pour toujours!

  • I love all of these war themed anthems, Spain and France's in particular. I'm playing Civ4 as France right now and this tune played non stop inside my head the whole time I occupied enemy civs.

    And what's with these comments about americans, ww2 and shit in a national anthem vid? Creating account in utube doesn't make you an instant war historian or something. Fukkn disgusting idiots polluting the net.

  • Stay cool guys and just enjoy! :D

    Stop speaking of the past, watch for the future.

    Independence... WW2... Same fight! It was for Démocratie!!!

    Vive la France!

  • panzano1 you should be ashamed of yourself. The Rosevelt Administration worked hard trying to help the allies, France was defeated because of an incompetent leadership, not because America stayed out of the war. Had America not cared about the war it would have concentrated 90% of it's resources on the Pacific instead of Atlantic furthermore even before Hitler declared war remember Lend Lease and the U Boot campaign? Please be informed when you comment on history.

  • @NerdyNerdMajor -- Roosevelt's hands were tied in 1940 by US neutrality legislation, but he couldn't have done much anyway, since the US was not prepared to go to war. Had Americans recognized the Nazi threat earlier and been willing to face up to international responsibilities, maybe things would have turned out differently. Lend Lease was not passed until March 1941, by the way. And no amount of political leadership would have saved France in 1940 -- they were outmanned and outgunned.

  • France is the best.  We Americans owe our Independence to the French. We could could pay them back a thousand times and it wouldn't be enough. Vive la France!

  • I'm really stunned by the coarseness of some of the remarks here. Good heavens, folks, this is a national anthem; either enjoy it, or go on to another link in YouTube.

  • still and forever !

    Vive la France

  • @TheGermanboy15 so Germans are gays.....lol

  • This anthem is fucking badass! I gotta give it to the French, this is amazing to listen to

  • The reason the US didn't join WW2 untill they were pushed in was for the simple reason that it was another bloody European pawn game that was just one in a series of many prior.. All through out the 18th and 19th century and prior.

  • it seems the New World Order has forgotten what happens when the peasents are pushed too far! awake! raise the voice of protest! for the Financial Aristocracy has once again put us under the yoke!

  • So beautiful, I love France. Love from Norway.

  • We are passionate about our national anthem .. but the Anthem of France is simply thrilling. Congratulations on posting.

    MENINAS CANTORAS DE PETRÓPOLIS

    (The Petropolis Girls Choir - Brazil)

    

  • LOL at all the youtube arguments.

  • A bit of a blood thirsty anthem, so my French wife says (but I am not much into them) but I like the country, they accepted me as an Australian 8 years ago and I have loved every minute of living here!

    Vive La France!

  • @coraline55555 lets give Frence back to the Roman empire.

  • @coraline55555 Dual citizenship, come and go.

    As a European, doesnt piss u off seeing the France football side almost totally black? there should be a quota system.

  • @coraline55555 Anyway look up Fitzroy Lions Club Song if you want a better version of this anthem, more gusto.

  • @coraline55555 I am outside europe

  • @coraline55555 the department of overseas territories?

    Sad, europe is almost a lost cause

    look at the German team, full of poles and Turks

  • I am Australian and i love this song. it is moving and powerful to me

  • @coraline55555 Its so easy to trawl ex colonies and be overly politicaly correct whilst forgetting the REAL French people.

    The ones that have been there for thousands of years.

  • vive la france Gretting from the Kingdom of Denmark (wherein the queens husband is French).

  • Good, but not as good as Russian National Anthem- anthem of the most powerful country of the eastern hemisphere and Europe.

  • Respect French culture and history, hate their football team.

    Might as well change its name to the All Blacks. Least have some white players on it.

    At least other Euro teams have their proper races.

  • French anthem is good.

  • At 0:38 appear an green, white and red flaw.. which country???

  • @charlesz3 ..its blue white and red...the french flag.

  • Thank you, La Fayette!

  • @jornetjag Avant d'écrire des conneries apprend à écrire ! Parce que "SARCOZY"ne s'écrit pas comme sa mais comme ça "Sarkozy"

  • @23alexxela I am american and although there are a lot of ignorant americans out there, not every american is like that. I am not like that, and i can only hope that the world will realize not all americans are how they are portrayed.

  • @timochy37 notice how similar La Marseillaise sounds to the Star Spangle Banner, sounds similar in parts.

  • @23alexxela you're talking about 300M people asshole. unfortunately for idiots like you the world is more complex than that. america will come and go, and hegemons will come and go.  now grow up and start fighting ideas, not an imagined unitary people

    its so sad that a country like france should have such fate

  • @mmarko001s

    too much immigration ruins countries here in America its way too crowded now and its becoming shitty as well.

  • @mmarko001s France is not shit, have you even been there? i love visiting my family there : ) such a beautiful country, with plenty of art, music and food go to the gascony region or aquataine you'll love it : )

  • @xxdead2mexx France is not shit but the illegal immigrants coming in are

  • @xxdead2mexx Yeah, it's just Paris that they don't like anybody who doesn't speak French. Leave the city though and you'll find the people much friendlier, though they do smoke a lot.

  • Im from Czech Republik.But i love france!!France have best anthem! :)

    we have lessons of big france revolution in history now.

  • so who heard that joke:

    where the Englishman, French, Mexican have to jump off the plane cuz its about to crush.

    The Englishman says God save the Queen and jumps out

    The Frenchman says Viva La France and jumps out.

    This pumps up the Texan so he says REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!! and pushes the Mexican out of the plane.

    no offense to any race mentioned above

  • No frenchman would ever say "viva la france". Viva does not mean anything, I think you're looking for the subjunctive of vivre = vive.

  • we all know what he meant

  • ALL HAIL FRANCE

  • La France beaucoup fait dans le monde et beaucoup de pays viennent/tourment vers la France pour chercher des supports. Les ennemies n'aiment pas ca, parce que le monde ecoute quand Paris parle. Je dirais vive La France et la francophonie.

  • Vive la france !! EU delenda est !!

  • Vive la france!!

    the french and the Englis army's are the most powerfull army's in europe i proud to be half french half irish but i still prefer to be french

  • Comment removed

  • Hmmm... I find it annoying how despite being a native French speaker, I still have problems understanding this due to my upbringing in Atlantic Canada. I even have problems when going to Québec. Damn these inflections!

  • Fabio its called free speech and considering you couldn't come up with anything else your obviously the ignorant one of us two.

  • myasi bouku.... bounjur

  • The only thing that I don't get about French is how they pronounced their words. Confuses me most of the time than Espanol.

  • kitycalifornia, I'm half French, and proud of it. I'm also very proud to be an American. I would fight to the death for either country. My French family lost many friends during WWII, and if it were not for the US, you'd be speaking German. People like you don't deserve the right to live in the US.
