Patricia discusses the history of the the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise," explaining how the song traveled from the Rhine region to Marseille, where it earned its final name. She even sings a few lines of the song for us!

Vingt-mille lettres au Père Noël ont été envoyées cette année de Marseille! C'est incroyable mais Papa Noël répondra de sa main à chaque enfant mais attention seulement si l'enfant a été sage. Bon courage Papa Noël!
