Allons enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras.
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !
Aux armes citoyens
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons
(Full translation, which makes The Star-Spangled Banner look pacifistic.)
The Bastille was torn down very soon afterwards. Very little of it survives. The key to the fortress was given by Marquis de Lafayette to President Washington.

Thanks, France. Couldn't have done it without you. Only war with a Mad British king could have induced a French king to support revolution. So, we'd be Greater Southern Canada minus George III?
Plus, without King Donnie, we’d be at ~28% of current cases and ~54% of current deaths.
Jezzzz, my bad...
We’d be at 28% of current cases and 54% of current deaths...heck of a job, brown-nosie.
