	Embassy of France in the U.S. - La Marseillaise
		On July 14, Bastille Day, La Marseillaise, maybe the best-known national anthem in the world, is sung all over France.
		The extent of the attachment of the French to their national anthem was revealed in the 1970s, when President Giscard d'Estaing attempted to impose "his" Marseillaise by having it played to a slower tempo in order to give it greater solemnity.
		Late controversial singer and composer Serge Gainsbourg tried to rewrite the Marseillaise his own way in 1979 by having the national anthem played by a reggae band.

		"La Marseillaise" was written and composed by Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle, captain in the Engineering corps garrisoned in Strasbourg during the night of 24 to 25 April 1792 at the behest of the city's mayor, Baron de Dietrich.
		After the fall of the Third Republic and the occupation of northern France by Germany, the Marseillaise remained the official anthem of both the Vichy government (the Nazi puppet state set up in unoccupied southern France) and the Free France forces, who were against the Vichy government and sought its removal.
		At last the Marseillaise was made the official national anthem by the constitutions of the Fourth and Fifth Republics (Article 2 of the Constitution of 4 October 1958).
