The little quinquin, ou "L'canchon d'l'armoire"

Le petit quinquin (ch'tiot quinquin) full version – The famous popular song of Lille people, of the 19th Century.
Almost everyone knows the Marseillaise du Nord. Fewer people know its creator, Alexandre Desrousseaux, and even fewer know the four hundred or so songs he wrote about his native district, the Saint Sauveur district, which has now disappeared.
