"La Marseillaise" is the name of the French national anthem. It is called such because it was popularised under the French revolution, by a volunteer regiment coming from Marseilles to defend the country.

∙ 11y agoThe French National anthem is 'La Marseillaise', composed in April 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg. It is named so because it was sung in the streets of Paris by volunteer soldiers from Marseille.
It was originally called 'Chant de Guerre pour l'Armée de Rhin', in English: 'War Song for the Army of the Rhine'.
It became the song of the French Revolution, and was accepted as such on Bastille Day (July 14, 1795).
It was arranged by composer Louis Hector Berlioz in the 1830s; a popular recording is one with Jean-Pierre Jacquillat conducting the Orchestra de Paris.
