Le chant du départ dans 'JRC Captain of the Imperial Guard' 1799 - French Republican Patriotic Song

[Challis1989]

Great video and song and as a brit your english is great keep up the good work :D

[cumbas]

@Challis1989

hum... To say a such thing, if you are Brit you are not an English sure for me ^^

PS :

My English is bad I know that

But no problem, I would like to speak very well English & all foreigners (for me) languages BUT I dont count the "intelligence" of a brain on this fact

& it's better for the english-speakers peoples because they are by far the bader peoples who dont speak at least one foreigner language of the world out of his native ^^

[Challis1989]

@cumbas Trust me I have seen worse english from class mates brought up as the first language haha. I'm scottish but my dads side of the families all English not all english people are like the ,majority of tubes on Youtube that hate the french. :D Yea thats the problem haveing english as our first language because many see it spoken world wide and don't bother to have the deceny to lean say french or spanish etc

[cumbas]

@Challis1989

1a)

Seriously, I know perfectly that these suckers retarded with their blind-brain full of xenophobia, lies & stereotypes on the others countries & peoples especially on the French ^^ are not the whole English people & I have English friends on the web or IRL ^^ & it's for that I said "the roastbeef-minds" for these suckers & not "the English" who in my mind are not the same thing

[cumbas]

@Challis1989

2a)

But sorry it's the truth also to say that these persons who dont have a backward-looking spirit full of stereotypes on Europe which did not evolve since the 19th & the half of the 20th centuries are a minority in England...

After, I suspected that you were Scotish to write that & by seeing your channel ^^, the French & the Scotish are old European brothers, the Auld Alliance guy, the Auld Alliance! ^^

and it's just in French language

so same in France few people have this TV mini-serie in the whole (me i' have it of course ^^)

[cumbas]

Here it's my playlist about "Songs and Marchs of French Republic and French Empire"

But to see much more extracts of this mini-serie look at in my channel my special playlist on JRC based on extracts of this mini-serie

[Neoborbonico]

may i ask about this movie?

what is the exactely title? or was it a tv serie? please could someone kindly ask at my question?

thanks

[cumbas]

"more infos" in the righ of all videos are not here "pour du poulet" like we say in France (= "not for nothing")...

read all informations in the righ and you will have the response

the title is quite simply "Les cahiers du Capitaine Coignet" , "The Books of Captain Coignet"

[jeffkodiac]

this song is marvelous

[hommechauvesouris]

Vive la République!

Vive la Révolution!

[cumbas]

oulalala very precise question lol

Before lets speak a little about the Guard which is "National" before the coup d'état of November 9, 1799, then becomes the Guard of the Consuls after this coup d'état and the introduction of the Consulate, then in May 1804 with the proclamation of the Empire, the Imperial Guard

[cumbas]

Its the elit troop of the French Army

It ensures the protection of the authorities of the state and its foreign guests during the ceremonies (as the Garde Républicaine currently) but its also a combat unit, which Napoleon will do more and more in the battles future

[cumbas]

One does not enter directly to the civilian live in the Guard (National, Consul or Imperial, it was the same rules)

Its necessary to be voluntary and already soldier to enter there

Its necessary to have made a minimum of military campaigns (6) and to have a good health and a size in minimal height

[cumbas]

JRC will be accepted in the "Garde des Consuls en 1803 after 2 campaign only

What will be good for him is that he is the first private soldier has to be proposed for the Legion of Honor and will be the first private soldier of all the history has to be decorated with the Legion of Honor by Napoleon himself in 1804

He's also too small normally but will cheat on its size ^^

See my extract on its enrôlement in the Guard of the Consuls in 1803 here in my playlist

/watch?v=86jKTEDiccI

 ;-)

[cumbas]

For the difference of the uniforms between the Guard and the troops of the line, most famous is the hat Le Bonnet à poils which is carried only during the battles and the ceremonies

In normal time the soldiers of the Guard use the bicornuate lawful (you can see that in all my videos subtitled in English in my playlist JRC Captain the Impérial Guard)

^

[cumbas]

This bonnet à poils of bears which the British troops will adopt after Waterloo

Yes, yes the hat whith hairs of bears of the British Guard is directly inspired by that of the Imperial Guard ^^

[cumbas]

Afterwards for the precise details of the uniforms its necessary to seek websites and images on the Web with google for example, there are even books about that ^^

I will give you in a personal message links about all that

IMPORTANT

It should be known that during the Empire these uniforms evolved and that those of 1804 for example are not always identical to those of 1811

[marisbosquet]

Fascinating! Thank you soooo much for all of your replies. How did you learn to speak English so well? Have you been learning all your life?

By the way, I found your channel by accident. The book is posted online in blog form.I was searching for links that would allow a young audience to see and hear examples of the culture of that period!

[marisbosquet]

Also: my sister and I were almost "run over" by the Republican Guard band. --lol-- The band was performing on the plaza at Lincoln Center in New York City. Suddenly they broke into two groups and began to re-form, playing the March of the Battle of Marengo. We all had to step pretty lively to get out of their way!

[cumbas]

Oh you are nice with me lol

I know very well that I speak "English pidgin" ^^, but the main thing is that one understands me despite everything ^^ ;-)

I learn in School of course and nowadays i talks my few knowledge on the WEB ^^

But I will largely prefer to speak French who is my native language and whom I handle better, because it's not obvious sometimes to express as one thinks as well in English as in French ^^

[cumbas]

and I use a dictionary and a translator onlinee (Babel fish) when I don't know the English words ^^ :-)

[marisbosquet]

:) I use only a dictionary (Larousse). It's not speaking another language that's difficult. It's THINKING in that other language. After graduate school, I worked at les filiales americaines de Hachette in New York. My boss, who was from Pau, would tease me, saying, "You speak in French, but you think in English!" LOL It's O.K. to reply to me in French, Bruno. Je comprendrai.

Amities--

[cumbas]

this scene is held between August 1799 (date of call of JRC in the armies of the Republic) and May 1800 (date of the departure and the passage of the "col St-Bernard" in the Alpes mountain to go to Italy for the 2nd "Campain of Italy"

[cumbas]

Donc pour finir de répondre à ta question marisbosquet, cette scène de son régiment chantant "le Chant du Départ" peut se passer entre août 1799 et mai 1800 date du départ et passage du col Saint-Bernard pour se rendre en Italie pour l'armée dont fait partie le régiment de JRC lors de la deuxième campagne d'Italie

Donc cette scène se déroule t-elle avant ou après le coup d'état du 18 brumaire (9 novembre 1799), je ne peux pas te le confirmer précisément ^^ :-)

[marisbosquet]

Bon! It's the uniforms that interest me. What were the differences between the army uniforms and the Garde uniforms? Could somebody see a column down the road and know if the soldiers were army or Garde? Details like this give readers a better understanding of the period.

[marisbosquet]

Salut, Bruno!

1799??? Ces gens qui chantent, sont-ils soldats, ou la Garde nationale? C'est apres Brumaire, ou avant?

Je te remercie bien!

Maris (citoyenne d'Amerique)

[cumbas]

Salut

Bravo déjà pour ton français écris qui me fait te répondre aussi en français, à la vue de ton niveau tu me comprendras

Où as tu appris à si bien écrire en français ?

Utilises-tu un logiciel de traduction ? ^^ ;-)

Sinon "1799"

Par rapport à quoi et qu'a d'étonnant cette date pour toi ??

Tu sembles connaître pourtant l'histoire de France entre la révolution de 1789 et la fin de l'Empire en 1815 (qui ne font qu'un pour moi et sont indivisible historiquement parlant)

[cumbas]

Et as tu lu mes informations à droite ?

Ou alors, effectivement je donne les dates du calendrier romain actuel et pas du calendrier révolutionnaire car fort peu sont les personnes (dont moi) qui le manipulent et le connaissent encore parfaitement ^^ CQFD ;-)

[cumbas]

Jean Roch Coignet a bien été enrôlé dans les armées de la République en 1799 (comme il le relate dans "ses cahiers" et que confirment les "registres" militaires) et ce que tu vois là se déroule durant sa formation militaire en 1799 avant le départ pour la nouvelle campagne d'Italie de 1800 (devant les attaques incessante des royautés en Italie contre nos intérêts et ceux de nos alliés républicains on navait pas le choix)

[cumbas]

Comme il le dit dans "ses cahiers" (si tu manipules la langue de Molière aussi bien et si cette époque épique de l'histoire de France t'intéresse, je ne saurai trop te conseiller de les lire), ils devaient durant sa formation militaire en 1799 (tu vois là des soldats de son régiment de l'époque mais surtout pas la Garde Nationale où comme je le montre dans un autre extrait il s'engagera bien plus tard en 1803) tous les soirs se réunir pour chanter ce «Chant du départ»

[cumbas]

qui comme je le dis à gauche deviendra même l'hymne officiel de l'Empire, tu métonnes avec toutes les guerres que la République et lEmpire ont dû allait faire ailleurs pour ne pas laisser les Royaumes nous les faire chez nous (Napoléon disait « LEmpire cest la paix »...

[cumbas]

et crois moi si il ny avait pas été obligé, jamais il naurait fait la guerre contrairement à ce que la fausse propagande de certains anglos-saxons ou pas et anglaise en particulier veulent faire croire de lui, de la République et de lEmpire), on était donc souvent en "départ" en France à cette époque ^^

[cumbas]

Mais sinon pour situer les évènements de sa vie, jai fait un résumé en musique de cette série qui te permettra jespère de mieux comprendre sa vie et les extraits de la série

Tu trouveras les 2 morceaux dans ma playlist sur JRC bien sur, le premier est ici

[marisbosquet]

Salut! Oh, non, non, non, je nutilise pas un logiciel de traduction!J Jai appris francais a lecole (pas daccents, desolee!) et, je te jure, je ne parle pas avec aise!

Sinon 1799: je viens decrire un roman au sujet dexpatries a paris dans les mois avant le coup. De plus, savoir la Revolution, cest savoir Napoleon.

Merci beaucoup!

[cumbas]

Tu viens "d'écrire" un roman ou de "lire" un roman ??

je suis très curieux si tu es un écrivain et que tu l'a écris de le découvrir et de le lire ton roman ^^ :-)

[cumbas]

et ooops j'avais oublié de répondre ç à ta question

Donc tu parles sans doute du coup d'état du 18 Brumaire An VIII (an 8) qui marque la fin du très contre versé "Directoire" et instaure "Le Consulat" à 3 Consuls dont Bonaparte

Le 18 Brumaire AN VII c'est le 9 novembre 1799

JRC a été appelé dans les armées de la République le 10 fructidor An VII, soit le 23 août 1799

[marisbosquet]

Yes! I'm sorry if this reply appears twice. (The program seems to have deleted the first one.) The Directory was such a confusing time! I had to simplify things in my story. Rather than burden readers with complex politics, I turned the Directory into a single entity that threatened my characters.

[marisbosquet]

Salut, Bruno!

Gaaaa! Je regrette le ponctuation! Les apostrophes! Ou sont ils??? Quelle horreur! My computer "ate" the apostrophes! Peut-etre, I should write in English until I find out what happened. Je suis embarrassee... I'm soooo sorry...

But, oui, je viens d'ECRIRE un roman. I wrote an historical novel for the young adult market. I posted it online so people can read it for sense and to find mistakes.
