Early life
Rouget de Lisle was born at Lons-le-Saunier, reputedly on a market day.
His parents lived in the neighbouring village of Montaigu.[5] A plaque was placed at the precise spot of his birth and a statue erected in the town's center in 1882. He was the eldest son of Claude Ignace Rouget (5 April 1735 – 6 August 1792) at Orgelet and Jeanne Madeleine Gaillande (2 July 1734 – 20 March 1811).[6]
In 1784, he was initiated into "Les Frères discrets", a masonic lodge in Charleville, just after being promoted officer.[7]
