France: the history and meaning behind the flag
The French flag is one of the most recognizable flags in the world and symbolizes the French Republic. The flag has three vertical colors: blue, white, and red, with the blue stripe on the hoist side. But how did this flag come about? Here are some interesting facts about the French flag:
• The colors of the French flag are taken from the coat of arms of Paris, which consisted of a blue background with three yellow lilies. The colors were later changed to the current combination of blue, white, and red.
• The flag has a long history and was first introduced during the French Revolution in 1789. The colors of the flag were then associated with the ideals of the revolution: liberty (blue), equality (white) and fraternity (red).
• Over the years, the French flag has undergone many changes.
During Napoleon Bonaparte's reign in 1794, the flag was changed to a red flag with a large white circle in the center. The current tricolor flag was reintroduced in 1830 as the national flag of France.
The French flag is a familiar symbol in everyday life, but its use is strictly regulated by protocol. For example, the flag is displayed during televised speeches by the head of state and adorns official buildings such as town halls, prefectures, schools, and police stations, as well as monuments commemorating wars, such as the Arc de Triomphe. The flag is also used during important civil and military ceremonies.
