It's June 6th 2005. (The evening of D Day 1944 anniversary ) Im in the bar of a formula One truck stop at Cherbourg Normandie . all at once A chorus of voices strike up with a german marching song "Watch am Rhein " Who are these people,? They are (French re-enactors playing as German Wheremcht ) I say to my buddy what are we going to do, He replies "Careful Age, Don't start anything, there is a lot of em "- And then I remembered the film I've seen a dozen times , Casablanca. I raise myself up on the barstool and begin to sing " Allons enfants de la Patria" Instantly 40 truck drivers took up the stirring strains of the French National Anthem and drowned out the Cardboard Vichy collaborators. The honour of France was maintained.

Not “their” blood but that of the people, actually, this has to do with the origins of the anthem: a revolution of the people against the elites, it’s a way of saying that the people is ready to commit sacrifice for the sake of the community (feed the soil to fertilize it).

[@goxokogoxoki6734]

More precisely: "Let an impure blood water our furrows". BTW: Nobles were supposed to be of pure blood, unlike the vast majority of the people who had to fight 8 countries right after the Revolution started - hence the reference to the 'impure' when speaking of the very French citizens going to war.

Viva la France 🇫🇷

[@kevinpeng4059]

The best part is they don’t applaud themselves for being so patriotic and clever at the end. Not like America.

[@scuffmacgillicutty7509]

Very under rated comment. (I think we both know why.)

[@TechoNeko]

I agree

[@thomateish]

Yes because it was sung for a good reason. Very noble indeed

[@avocadosareweird5172]

I've only seen applaud after an Anthem in the US and it's so weird to me honestly.

[@TrueFlameslinger]

@@avocadosareweird5172 I'm not sure why we do. Personally, I think it's a respect thing, applauding the singer and the anthem.

[@musicalman1995]

I honestly strongly dislike minutes of silence. I can’t help but be very uncomfortable. The anthem is a much better way. Memories have sounds attached to them, not silence.

[@theperfectstorm7077]

Feel envious of the passion our french neighbours put in singing their anthem 💯

Spain is 1,000,000 better than France

La première fois que je vois autant de personnes dans l’hémicycle !

[@j.d.peppmeier9041]

The French could teach us something about patriotism and love of country. Cannot imagine our Congress breaking into our national anthem !!

[@adrian1622]

what is stoping you from electing patrootic congressmen

[@yusurkassem4174]

Just because they sing the national anthem does not mean they care about the country lmao why is everyone making this a big deal

Wonderful! From Switzerland

I really like how they unite , so patriotic

[@jakeykrause4039]

Every government should be this respectful

[@solidwallsofsound950]

Beautiful. Long live the people of Europe!

[@Darkstefxd]

You wont see that in germany. The patriotism of france is so beautifull.

[@chiefrabbischlomosteinberg4953]

Germany needs more diversity

[@thomasweitbrecht8105]

No, france has a great lack of patriotism, maybe not as much as germany, but still compared to the us for exemple its very low

[@gauthierloustaunau5396]

Let's say it's a strange patriotism. It's invisible most of the time. It only appears in the time of crisis. The opposite of the US I would say, who are so patriotic most of the time but divide and fight themselves so much when they need union.

Reminds me of the time when the West German parliament sang their National Anthem after they found out that the Berlin Wall had fallen in the same moment...

[@ichiidev]

What's really interesting is that for once they were almost all present that day.

[@logosofgame4273]

Anyone else getting this recommended to them 6 years later?

Imagine how proud the guy that started to sing the song

[@benascot4023]

just wonderful

[@topshotta4258]

[@ZATennisFan]

This is one of the most powerful things I have ever seen....

[@lilwater7358]

Much better than a moment of silence.

[@correctbydefault2047]

Much love from your neighbours 🇬🇧🇫🇷

That not quite the minute of silence, but beautiful anyway.

This is beautiful. 🇫🇷
