The national flag of France, known as the Tricolour, features three vertical bands colored blue, white, and red. This iconic design was adopted after the French Revolution and has become one of the most influential flags in history. The tricolour scheme has historically stood in symbolic opposition to autocratic and clericalist royal standards.

Before the Tricolour's adoption, the royal government used various flags, with a well-known design featuring a blue shield and gold fleur-de-lis on a white background. During the French Revolution, the Paris militia wore a cockade of blue and red, which was later combined with white to create the national tricolour.

This tricolour flag has been an enduring symbol of France since its adoption in 1790, despite brief interruptions during certain periods. Today, it's recognized worldwide as a representation of French identity and heritage.
