La Marseillaise was born in Strasbourg
On the night of 25–26 April 1792, the officer Rouget de Lisle wrote a “War Song for the Army of the Rhine” in Strasbourg. The following evening it was sung for the first time at the home of the mayor, Philippe-Frédéric de Dietrich, on place Broglie. It would become La Marseillaise.
