The Flag of France, known as the "Tricolore," features three vertical stripes of blue, white, and red. The blue stripe is on the hoist side, followed by white in the center, and red on the fly side. This design symbolizes the values of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, and fraternity. Adopted in 1794, the Tricolore has become a national emblem of France. The colors are often associated with the city of Paris, where blue and red represent the city, while white symbolizes the monarchy. The flag is prominently displayed during national holidays and events, reflecting French pride and identity.
