Songs and Chants in French Protests
Songs and chants help unite demonstrators and make their causes heard, continuing a longstanding French protest tradition.
Examples include:
- “The Internationale”, a revolutionary staple heard at a May Day march in 1973.
- “The Song of the Partisans,” sung by demonstrators in Reims after Jean-Marie Le Pen reached the presidential-election runoff in April 2002. The song invoked the Resistance and the memory of the occupation.
- Familiar songs adapted for protest, including those used by feminist campaigners and Zebda’s “Motivés,” which was used against the Fillon pension reform.
- Football-supporter chants, such as the tribute to Olympique de Marseille sung by Marseille students opposing a baccalaureate reform.
- “On est là,” a chant associated with Racing Club de Lens supporters that has recurred at protests since the Yellow Vest mobilization in 2018, including demonstrations against pension reform.
