La France bouge

La France bouge, lit. 'France is moving', is a french royalist protest song written by Charles Maurras and Maurice Pujo in 1909.[1]

History

The song is inspired by the marching song Le Midi bouge, composed in 1870 by Paul Arène, whose melody itself was taken from La Chanson des Filles d’Avignon, a regional popular song.[2] According to Maurras, “the furious tone of the song” is explained by “circumstances marked by an appearance of imperious violence,” which he attributed to “the Jews and their republican accomplices”[3]
