Debout Les Gars (Wake up boys) is a French royalist song written in 1899 by French-Breton singer Théodore Botrel. The song tells of the counter revolutionary uprisings that happened in 1793 in various provinces of France to oppose the republican regime in Paris. While unsuccessful, these uprisings took a heavy toll on the republican armies and the heroism of the outnumbered and mostly untrained and under equipped monarchists was cherished for some time in the provinces opposed to the revolution.
