<p>Oddly enough, I was watching a PBS series on Napoleon by David McCullough, and I remember that exact quote, “when he marched into Berlin to the strains of La Marseillaise.” Since Napoleon depended so heavily on using the basic principles of the Revolution to throw himself into power, I sincerely doubt La Marseillaise was banned. </p>
<p>Apparently, the only time the Marseillaise was banned in France (since it’s creation) was during Vichy France, when they considered it a threat to Vichy France and a possible method for the Free French to garner support (as the Internationale did for the Communists just before the Red Revolution). </p>
