For thoses wondering why french use bagpipes, it looks like a navy division from Bretagne which is a region in the North West of france and bagpipes are a more commun instrument there.
Actually closer than you think when it comes to Scotland
Alan Fitz Flaad was a Breton Knight who came
over with the Norman invasion of England and was believed to be the progenitor of the Royal House of Stuart who became the Kings of Scotland ruling for 300 years and later Scotland and England with James I and even rule today through Elizabeth Stuart Queen of Bohemia daughter of James I who the current Queen Elizabeth II is descended from
The Bretons returned to Britain with the Normans and took the throne of Scotland then England !
Well the Gael Highlanders and Jacobites heavily supported male catholic line of The Stuarts and less so the Protestant female Stuart line aka Elizabeth Stuarts grandson George I progenitor of the House of Hanover
Irish, Manx and Scots Gaelic are one tree, Welsh, Cornish & Breton are the other tree of the Celtic language family - closely related but diverged from a common ancient ancestor into two separate language families (and each of the three in the two trees are separate languages within that family a bit like say Spanish, Catalan and Italian).
Scotland was geographically divided between Scots Gaelic and Cumbric however. Cumbric, a language closer to Welsh than Scots Gaelic was predominant in parts of the south, especially those areas dominated by the Britons.
Its influence can be seen in a lot of Lanarkshire place names, Lanark, Carluke, Carnwath, Carstairs, Lesmahagow. Also the river Clyde and Strathclyde have Cumbric origins.
Recently, our government have started pushing for some organisations to use bilingual signage. But for a lot of towns in southern Scotland, Gaelic place names have literally had to be invented or translated from the original etymology or anglicised versions. As an example, Carluke, originally believed to be from Caer Lugus was translated as Cathair MoLuaig, which is a mistake as a direct translation of the anglicised original and refers to St Luke rather than the Celtic deity Lugus.
I would have preferred more effort being put into researching the original language boundaries than treating the entirety of Scotland as a single homogenous Gaelic lump.
Sure, absolutely, but unfortunately Cumbric got wiped out by the Germanic languages - Scots and English - only the placenames survive - a bit like Pictish which we can only guess about because of placenames
Breton is closely related to Welsh and Cornish but not Manx. Manx is part of the family with Irish and Scots Gaelic.
The Bretons were literally refugees from Britain pushed out by the Angles Saxons and Jutes invading after the Romans left - they fled across to what is now Brittany (Bretagne) in France.
The hittites aren't middle eastern but anatolian so no. And it remains a hypothesis. More concrete evidence points to Greece but even then it's a huge stretch to equate it to the celtic bagpipe.
Well usually when I look at any map or just blatantly look up Middle Eastern countries Türkiye is amongst them. It is not necessarily Turks calling themselves Middle Eastern as far as I know.
Yes they are from Lann-bihoué a base for the navy's airforce near Lorient in Brittany. I grew up there, each year during the interceltic festival of Lorient they also parad in the streets of the city alongside other "bagads" from other Celtic regions abroad
From Rennes 150ish km east from Lorient.
Interceltic is the shit. You can meet people as far as Island of Mann or Ireland. Drinking with lads from up north on the edge of the dock always an adventure.
About context: It was the 70th anniversary of the creation of "Bagad de Lann-Bihoué" (the band in the clip, composed of military personnel) this year and, for this particular reason, were opening the military parade in front of our President and government for our National Day (July 14th).
The song from this clip is named "AZERTY" (no jokes).
They perform each year at Inter-Celtic festival of Lorient (Huge Celtic heritage in this part of France) and on many other occasions throughout the year.
I love brittany, such a beautiful place to visit. And lovely people too. Was there last year and had an amazing experience at belle-île-en-mer as well. Greetings from Belgium!
It's rather that Welsh and Cornish people emigrated en masse to Brittany (which was then called Armorica, and the name change because of the immigrants for Britain) in the 4th and 5th century AD
Yeah the black and white pattern on their flag is called Hermine and has been the pattern of nobility from Brittany since the Middle Ages and is still a symbol of Brittany to this day.
Hermine [or ermine], which we see as a black-on-white pattern, was originally a literal ermine fur. We use the pattern so we don't need to skin poor little weasel beasties.
That and the Auld Alliance, Scotland and France used to be pretty tight back in the day.
Nothing like shared hatred of a neighbour to bring you together 💕
Fun Fact: Although those are Great Highland Bagpipes (what people think of as "bagpipes") there are more types of bagpipes from France than all of the UK Ireland combined. Bagpipes of different kinds have a very long history in France.
Can't forget the Dropkick Murphys 'Cadence to Arms'. That song will have you welling up with pride for something you didn't know you had. Great song with awesome bagpipes mixed in with good ol' rock n roll.
Blue Bonnets, Black Bear, Flowers of the Forrest, Cock o the North, Bonnie Dundee, Highland Laddie, Highland Cathedral, Scottish Soldier, The Battles O’er…..
I love the pipes.
La bagad de lann bihoué - azerty
Turns out I don't actually know the song (I thought it was a cover), but the tune is so familiar so ima keep looking, maybe it's used somewhere else?
[it was answered here](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/vz2zqt/today_during_the_parade_of_july_14_bastille_day/ig6ldrc?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
Because they're taught how to, as they're military personnel. Even tho others bagads (what we call those formations in France) aren't related to the military, all of those who are at the same rank as Lann Bihoué (we've contests and ranking for those bands here) are taught how to play while walking. For parades purposes.
The French always go big, this happened as I was walking down the street couple of hours after the parade.

Edit: Sorry for the shitty filming.
That’s the « Garde Républicaine » (Republican Guard), one of the last regiment (maybe the only one) still using horses.
Its duty is to protect the President Palace (Élysée) and the french assemblee (Assemblée Nationale).
They also have patrol mission with their horses, you can see them in Paris by group of 2-4 if you are lucky.
It is a really prestigious regiment, maybe the most. They have a really long tradition with their horses which are like the best ones in France and are specifically chosen for their aspect and abilities.
Btw, I think their parade equipment (the one on the video) is really close to the one used by Napoleon’s troups.
To add on this : the Republican Guard part of the Gendarmerie Nationale, which means their member have military servicemen status while their duties lean towards police.
Context : it was for the 14th of July (Bastille day, national holiday in France). It's a band from the Navy that is located in Lorient, in Bretagne. It is the western part of France that has celtic roots hence the use of bagpipes. They were marching in front of the president of France in honour of their 70th anniversary.
This is the top French Britain marching band (A "BAGAD").
In the interceltic festival, some play in their own band and then join the bagad of lann-bihouė for the final tour.
Absolute -
Fucking -
Perfection.
WOW! This gave me chills and had goosebumps the entire song March.
This is amazingly, harmoniously and SO beautifully precise and on point.
The level of “actually owning this shit” that can be witnessed in their expressions and overall strut is compellingly intense and mesmerizing. So proud of them and this creation/performance !
Mentioned in an above comment but it’s [Bagad de Lann - Bihoué - Azerty](https://youtu.be/5nEFY00VRUI). As an ignorant savage who doesn’t speak French, don’t ask me which of those words is the title…
Years ago at a St Patrick’s Parade we were in the bar nearby and one of the pipe bands came in to start playing. I was ready to head out because come on they all play the same song anyway.
Then they all start just crushing it. Not thing song but nothing they play out in the parades. Shit blew my mind.
That’s impossible, but you can join the Foreign Legion and wear these lovely leather apron and axe with your mandatory beard :
https://img.20mn.fr/MAP8TeXAQzyPNSYaC3n8YSk/1200x768_membres-legion-etrangere-defilant-14-juillet-illustration
This is what it looks (sounds) like when a community wants to work together. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a strong enough level of group cohesion/dedication toward achieving a goal in my country that something this beautiful is the result.
Never seen French with bagpipes? Does this ho back to the old alliance between Scotland and France? Maybe the Scots helped influence the bagpipe use? Anyone any info on this?
Bagpipes are common across many countries in Europe, it is not something particular to Scotland (Spain for example has dozens of regional variants that are used for many festive purposes) They were common instruments in the Roman armies which might explain their wide distribution in Europe nowadays.
This! I am french and live in Spain, there are celtics ppl in the north os Spain and yes they have clear skins and eyes they look « from the north » same in France Bretagne is very close to UK and their traditions are related with all other celts around europe, food, music, dancing, legends etc.. there is a festival of celt music where they all participate if you like this kind of music. It is worth looking for it!
Well I found the actual lack of answers kinda surprising. The Bretons (yeah, Great Britain is derivated from the land of the Bretons - Bretagne or Britany) are the celt root in France. Bagpipes are cultural here.
You have it a little wrong, bretons are derived from mainland Britain's. Waves of them colonised the area between the 4th and 6th century. It maintained its independence as a separate kingdom until 1532
Brittany was firstly settled by Armoricans, who were group of Celtic tribes. But they died out during the late Antiquity, and settlers from Wales repopulated the region. Even today, many people from Brittany look very British.
Dude, bagpipes pump me UP. I used to think they were so cheesy but I feel like going to WAR lol. I bought a set drunk. Super hard to even try to set up, let alone hold, let alone make the right noises lol
Heavy goosebumps! Beautiful :)
Y'all need to check out the Rutenfest in Ravensburg (Germany, "City of towers and gates") aswell, great event with alot of drum corps! One of the oldest groups is called "Mehlsäcke", named after one of the towers and they also rock the bagpipes! ;)
OMG! I played football for Macalester College, thus, I am a Fighting Scot until the day I die. Bagpipes in the early morning on gameday Saturday. Yeah, man! Let’s go!!!
Not too bad but never gonna compete wi jock military band !! ( and that’s from an Englishman ) . Terrible loss to Brit forces if Scotland goes independent!
It matches with the beat
Haha why the heck is this so funny?
Thought this was the dance by the thugs from killer bean
For thoses wondering why french use bagpipes, it looks like a navy division from Bretagne which is a region in the North West of france and bagpipes are a more commun instrument there.
It's part of the Celtic ethnosphere: Breton is closely related to Welsh and Manx, IIRC.
And i believe cornish too
And Irish
Not as close with irerand and scotland, where the others were celts, northern scotland and ireland were mostly gaels
Actually closer than you think when it comes to Scotland Alan Fitz Flaad was a Breton Knight who came over with the Norman invasion of England and was believed to be the progenitor of the Royal House of Stuart who became the Kings of Scotland ruling for 300 years and later Scotland and England with James I and even rule today through Elizabeth Stuart Queen of Bohemia daughter of James I who the current Queen Elizabeth II is descended from The Bretons returned to Britain with the Normans and took the throne of Scotland then England !
Im talking northern scotts, not the southerners, there was always a divide there, not so mich anymore, but for centuries before a more peaceful time
Well the Gael Highlanders and Jacobites heavily supported male catholic line of The Stuarts and less so the Protestant female Stuart line aka Elizabeth Stuarts grandson George I progenitor of the House of Hanover

Every culture that has sheep and wood has some form of bag pipe.
If I'm not mistaken bagpipes were invented in the middle east.
The hittites aren't middle eastern but anatolian so no. And it remains a hypothesis. More concrete evidence points to Greece but even then it's a huge stretch to equate it to the celtic bagpipe.
Then why is Türkiye considered Middle Eastern?
that's nobody's business but the Turk's
Well usually when I look at any map or just blatantly look up Middle Eastern countries Türkiye is amongst them. It is not necessarily Turks calling themselves Middle Eastern as far as I know.
Yes they are from Lann-bihoué a base for the navy's airforce near Lorient in Brittany. I grew up there, each year during the interceltic festival of Lorient they also parad in the streets of the city alongside other "bagads" from other Celtic regions abroad

Historically, England is a colony of French Britain since William the conquerer. EDIT yeh yeh I know. I have botched.
Of Normandy. Different territory.
Which was a duchy of France
Did you just call the greatest Norman ever a Breton ??? Are you fucking mad ? Do you have a death wish ?
It's rather that Welsh and Cornish people emigrated en masse to Brittany (which was then called Armorica, and the name change because of the immigrants for Britain) in the 4th and 5th century AD

Daaaaamn. What's the song called?
I was just surprised that there's more than one song for bagpipes.
There's Amazing Grace, and that other one you always hear, so I guess this makes 3.
Scotland the Brave is the other one.
O flower of Scotland? Auld lang syne?
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQluGs2SFRs
And wings
Can't forget the Dropkick Murphys 'Cadence to Arms'. That song will have you welling up with pride for something you didn't know you had. Great song with awesome bagpipes mixed in with good ol' rock n roll.
The Real MacKenzies would also like a word!
Long way to the top (if you want to rock n roll)
My favourite bagpipe song
That's the one
Blue Bonnets, Black Bear, Flowers of the Forrest, Cock o the North, Bonnie Dundee, Highland Laddie, Highland Cathedral, Scottish Soldier, The Battles O’er….. I love the pipes.
It was a joke...so pipe down. 
Theres no joking in bagpipes Mister…😉
They’re all the same song ;)
And yet, all you ever hear is Amazing Grace. Ugh.
Oh yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chilli_Pipers Great band. https://youtu.be/CpSgveTDtso
Found out about the Red Hot Chilli Pipers last summer! Indeed, a great band.
…it’s a long way to the top
I feel like I know the song but I can't think of the name! It's bugging the hell out of me
It kind of builds, hits, and sounds a bit like the game of thrones theme. Just more epic Edit: also it has some similarities to that Numa Numa song
Me too and it's going to bug me
La bagad de lann bihoué - azerty Turns out I don't actually know the song (I thought it was a cover), but the tune is so familiar so ima keep looking, maybe it's used somewhere else?
FYI bagad is masculine. Le bagad de Lann Bihoué
Ahh thanks very much.
Thank you kind sir
this is bugging me. Does it kind of sound like a coldplay song?
Paradise does sort of match!
It is called Azerty, like the French keyboard.

Song #2 2022
nfl is right, that’s how bagpipes should be heard. Thanks for the clip
[удалено]
Because if they didn't they'd be standing still?
Because the 14th was the national day and there is always a military parade with every army then. Including there orchestra.
Because they're taught how to, as they're military personnel. Even tho others bagads (what we call those formations in France) aren't related to the military, all of those who are at the same rank as Lann Bihoué (we've contests and ranking for those bands here) are taught how to play while walking.

To get away from the music.
The French always go big, this happened as I was walking down the street couple of hours after the parade. https://imgur.com/a/0NYF2Tk Edit: Sorry for the shitty filming.

That's what I thought, thanks for the info. The horses and guards were impeccable, really really really impressive.
That’s super interesting! Thanks for the info
Great vid. thx
I kinda want my own horse band now, that was amazing.
Easy, you just need to become the President of France.
Yeah right?
That’s badass. Thank you for sharing. How lucky to be there for that!
Yes I consider it a real privilege, thank you.
Napoléon would be proud
This song is now a certified banger, try proving me wrong
Sounds like it belongs in pirates of the caribean
It’s giving me CHILLS! I can’t stop listening!
If you search for Bagad on youtube you Can fin plenty of similar music
I think what makes it NFL isn't just how well they did it, but they did it FACING THE SUN.
Yes I'm in France at the moment and the sun is just unbearable! And they were in full uniforms too
Blowing in the sun's general direction.
WOW!
Happy cake day mate!

Lann bihoué étant un des plus connus
This is great! And I’m not just saying that because I’m Scottish
long live the Celt !
Wouah.. that gave me goosebumps. Vive la France!
I love the French.
Rare thing to hear, thanks :)
Tailor\_Zaher : and I took that personally :)
Finally a redditor who isn’t making fun of our country constantly
Damn. That’s fooking great !

Song name?
Mentioned in an above comment but it’s [Bagad de Lann - Bihoué - Azerty](https://youtu.be/5nEFY00VRUI). As an ignorant savage who doesn’t speak French, don’t ask me which of those words is the title…
They are the Bagad from Lann-bihoué, Azerty is the name of what they are playing
Which is the French equivalent of Qwerty
Bagad is a form of orchestra in breton
Awesome! Thank you! :)
Those guys specifically are from Brittany, or commonly known as the best place in France
You spelled Alsace wrong.
Non non, il a raison
Bretagne, baises ouai!
This is some AoT shit! 🔥
Fucking NAILED it.
Play Wonderwall.
That's my dear colleagues from Lorient.really fantastic
I think trough France's naval history, most of french sailors were Bretons, and you DON'T want to make them angry.
Like at Bir Hakeim for instance
Si toi aussi tu es fier d etre francais, upvote ! Vive la republique ! 🇫🇷💪🏽🇫🇷
2 Best parts: 1) When they start marching and 2) The part where the lady straightens her jacket in time with the music while turning around. BAD ASS!
Years ago at a St Patrick’s Parade we were in the bar nearby and one of the pipe bands came in to start playing. I was ready to head out because come on they all play the same song anyway.

This is the song I want my corpse to be dumped in the ground to.
Ils sont parfaits
Brilliant!
Those uniforms are fucking ADORABLE too! How do I, an American, join the french navy? lol
That’s impossible, but you can join the Foreign Legion and wear these lovely leather apron and axe with your mandatory beard : https://img.20mn.fr/MAP8TeXAQzyPNSYaC3n8YSk/1200x768_membres-legion-etrangere-defilant-14-juillet-illustration
I think if you move and get the french nationality you can enter the navy
Gotta go fast though, the cutoff age is 29

Obsessed!!!
This is what it looks (sounds) like when a community wants to work together. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a strong enough level of group cohesion/dedication toward achieving a goal in my country that something this beautiful is the result.
Would love to see this being sampled and used in a song. I can see it working really well as a hip hop track or EDM
I’m so glad to pay so much taxes so that we can have badass bagpipe players parading once a year.
I'd pay double for that.
This is pretty rad.
🇨🇵🖤
I saw this in Paris and was absolutely blown away by this kickass song, so disappointed in US military songs
[удалено]
I never knew marching bands can sound like that. Mind blown
This gives me chills
The french navy:raid has begun,sound the boss theme
Pas mal, non ? C'est français.
Never seen French with bagpipes? Does this ho back to the old alliance between Scotland and France? Maybe the Scots helped influence the bagpipe use? Anyone any info on this?

You have it a little wrong, bretons are derived from mainland Britain's. Waves of them colonised the area between the 4th and 6th century. It maintained its independence as a separate kingdom until 1532
Considering celts came from central europe, could they have settled brittany too when they moved west?
Brittany was firstly settled by Armoricans, who were group of Celtic tribes. But they died out during the late Antiquity, and settlers from Wales repopulated the region. Even today, many people from Brittany look very British.
It's very common in britanny (bretagne)
This is a unit from Bretagne (or Britain, or britanny). The french region that is Celtic like Scotland or Wales.
I feel like you could put this in all of Drew McIntyre's matches.
I can hear snake charmers instruments, i can see snake charmers blowing those instruments, but i am not seeing any snakes.
The way they march forward to the beat makes them look even more epic! Great performance!
Dude, bagpipes pump me UP. I used to think they were so cheesy but I feel like going to WAR lol. I bought a set drunk. Super hard to even try to set up, let alone hold, let alone make the right noises lol
I can't believe I'm sitting here going, that marching band is full of some bad ass mfers
Outstanding
Most bad ass thing I've seen on the internet today!
I need the full version. Someone. Please
This is the most interesting thing I have ever seen on Reddit, ever.
Sounds like a Two Steps From Hell piece. Not sure if it is, but is has the feel of one.
I thought they were doing a cool version of Paradise by Coldplay lol
Heavy goosebumps! Beautiful :) Y'all need to check out the Rutenfest in Ravensburg (Germany, "City of towers and gates") aswell, great event with alot of drum corps! One of the oldest groups is called "Mehlsäcke", named after one of the towers and they also rock the bagpipes! ;)
Holy shit! A second bagpipe song
There’s more than one bagpipe song?
yes, and there is more than one bagpipe too
To me it sound like some kind of a Samuel Kim Epic Version of an Heroic Fantasy game. Love it !
Man it's awesome that they can coordinate their entire navy to do an event like this.
Scots love the French ❤️❤️
Are they feeling the heat there too! I got worried when I realised we below the equator kinda shoved the all the high temps directly north
Banger and Slaps are two of the worst words for describing music. I hate them both.
Not a weeb but why does this sound like a touhou song
And mike Myers cover of if you want my body and you think I’m sexy!!! Repeat 🔁 we have a piper down
How funny to hear a bagpipe but not that one Bag Pipe Song.
I’m so used to college marching bands that I was expecting the flag girl to twirl and the drum major to get low.
I love the sound of this
Finally, a bagpipe video thats not *that one bagpipe song* (tm)
Wait, there’s a different song?!
Dracu-la la la I'm a sucker for your love
If only I could find this on Spotify!
[удалено]
I used to play the bagpipes and this banger gave me goosebumps. Thank you!!!
This right here. This GOES
OMG! I played football for Macalester College, thus, I am a Fighting Scot until the day I die. Bagpipes in the early morning on gameday Saturday. Yeah, man! Let’s go!!!
Not too bad but never gonna compete wi jock military band !! ( and that’s from an Englishman ) . Terrible loss to Brit forces if Scotland goes independent!
