Air Raid sirens in Paris..

[Alasiren1977]

I did not know that Paris, France even had sirens, but apparently they do..

They are installing new electronic ones now. Instead of the usual siren tone, they play "Deutschlandlied."


"...von der Maas bis an die Memel, von der Seine bis an den Loire ..."

sounds like other european mechanical sirens..

Most French sirens have eight ports instead of nine like the E 57, so the pitch is a little lower. Also, unlike almost any other European siren, they have projector horns. I believe that they are tested monthly, and fire departments might use them as well.
