Tune of the Day: La Strasbourgeoise
Traditional French song
“La Strasbourgeoise” (“The Song of Strasbourg”) is a French military song dating from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, after which France lost the region of Alsace-Lorraine. There are several versions of this song, which is also known as “L'enfant de Strasbourg” (“The Child of Strasbourg”).
Thanks to Isaure for suggesting this tune!
