A Flag Born During the French Revolution

The French tricolour emerged during the French Revolution in 1789. Its colours combined the blue and red traditionally associated with Paris with white, which was connected with the French monarchy. Together, the three colours came to symbolise the alliance between the king and the people and later became an enduring emblem of the French nation.

The tricolour disappeared when the monarchy was restored between 1814 and 1830, leaving the royal white flag in its place. It returned during the July Revolution of 1830, known as the Three Glorious Days, and was presented as a symbol of national and republican unity.

Blue, White and Red as a Symbol of France

The blue stripe is positioned next to the flagpole, followed by white in the centre and red at the fly. This simple vertical arrangement is known around the world as the French Tricolour or Tricolore.

Today, the flag is the national emblem defined in Article 2 of the Constitution of the Fifth Republic. It appears on public buildings and is used during civilian and military ceremonies, national celebrations and major international sporting events.
