Maison natale de Rouget de Lisle
The Maison natale de Rouget de Lisle is a small residential building in Lons-le-Saunier where Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle was born in 1760. The structure with wooden beams and modest room sizes is divided into three sections that document his life, his artistic work, and the legacy of his most celebrated composition.
Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle wrote a battle song for the Rhine Army in Strasbourg in 1792 that eventually became the French national anthem. The song spread rapidly beyond France while the composer himself worked in various roles and lived in Paris and the Jura region.
The house was home to a middle-class family in the 18th century and shows how people lived during that time. The rooms are arranged to reflect daily life then and to connect the birthplace of France's anthem composer to his lasting impact on the nation.
The house is open from mid-June to late September, Tuesday to Friday mornings and afternoons plus weekends from 2 PM to 6 PM, with Mondays closed. Groups can visit any time of year by reservation, and staff are happy to help with planning.
A block away from the house, a carillon plays the Marseillaise at noon, connecting the town to its most famous composition every day. This tradition roots the national anthem directly in the daily rhythm of the community.
