Traditional songs

Carcassonne city proud of its past and its celebrity, obviously has a hymn to his glory!

The “Carcassounéso” was created in the 1920s by J. F. Jeanjean (lyrics) and E. Lacombe (music). It was sung especially during major festivals of the summer of 1936, historical cavalcade, sports days, plays, pageants, celebrations of the centenary of the Society of Arts and Sciences of Carcassonne, union party grocers …

This year 1936 was indeed very rich in festivals and celebrations of all kinds, which the carcassonnais actively involved. And singing was not the last of the festivities in Aude!

Here is the text of Languedoc and the French translation of this song to the glory of Carcassonne, a little forgotten nowadays.
