"À tous les Français" plaque, 4 Carlton Gardens, London SW1 – One of the most famous speeches written in French history by General Charle de Gaulle. After the fall of France during the Second World War, General Charles de Gaulle was sent to London on a mission by Paul Reynaud, Président du Conseil. He formed the Free French Forces and wrote this famous speech in the small apartment in Seymour Place, which a friend had lent him: "À tous les Français", later written at Seymour Place. a war cry for democracy and liberty: To all Frenchmen, France has lost a battle! But France has not lost the war. Some of those in power were able to capitulate, yielding to panic, forgetting honour, delivering the country into servitude. However, nothing is lost! Nothing is lost because this war is a world war. In the free world, huge forces have not yet been deployed. One day, these forces will wipe out the enemy. On that day, France must be present at the victory. Thus she will rediscover her liberty and her greatness. Such is my goal, my only goal! That is why I invite all Frenchmen wherever they may be to unite with me in action, in sacrifice and in hope. Our country is in mortal danger. Let us all fight to save her! Long live France! 18 June 1940
