Résumé:This article proposes to study the military songs of the French Army in the second half of the twentieth century. Though not pioneering in the study of the entire body [of work], the study consists of placing songs in context as part of a cultural history. A number of French military songs are of foreign inspiration. Thus, they fall within a supranational culture. Following the work of Didier Francfort that challenges the nationalist character of music (Le Chant des Nations, Hachette Literature), we can update the following paradox. The Army is a representative institution of the nation par excellence. However, some songs are influenced to varying degrees by foreign models, which together form a transnational culture. These influences help to amalgamate troops and, while retaining foreign symbols, to strengthen the Army-Nation link in France.
