His father was a lawyer in the bailiwick of Lons-le-Saunier. He spent his youth, was educated there until college. Left school at Mezieres, in garrison at Strasbourg, he wrote, at the request of Philippe-Frédéric de Dietrich, Mayor of Strasbourg, The Battle Hymn of the Army of the Rhine, April 25, 1792. Led by the battalion in their march from Marseille to Paris in July 1792, this song is very fast and became called La Marseillaise French National Anthem March 14, 1879. August 10, 1792, Rouget is removed from office by Captain Lazare Carnot for protesting against the detention of Louis XVI after the invasion of the Tuileries. Imprisoned during the Terror and escaping the guillotine, then fighting in Vendee, he resigned in 1796 and lives difficult in Lons-le-Saunier. Louis-Philippe had given him a small pension from the Legion of Honor. Under the first Empire, he runs a business of food supplies to the armies. Rouget de Lisle composed other songs like the Marseillaise and in 1825 he published Chants French. He can not break into his literary career (prefaces, translations of English books, dissertations). He writes a hymn during the Restoration royalist. But this one, called Long live the King, failed to seduce Louis XVIII, who Agrea not the song. He will end his life in a precarious position, even to sell the inheritance of his father. Under the July Monarchy, Louis Philippe will grant him a pension for life. Soon after, he died at Choisy-le-Roi June 26, 1836 at the age of 76 years. His ashes were brought to the Invalides in 1915. However, one can still see his grave in the cemetery of Choisy-le-Roi.
