La Venoge (poem)
"La Venoge" is a poem written by Jean Villard, proprietor of the cabaret "Chez Gilles", who also wrote the popular song Les trois cloches.

Many French Swiss, jokingly consider it as a kind of national anthem representing best their "minority entity" feelings towards the German Swiss vast majority, (see  and Röstigraben): "La Venoge" being the only significant river in canton of Vaud contributing to the "French" Rhône basin, all others flowing through the German Swiss Area into the Rhine River.
