France Flag - Official National Flag of the French Republic #1273415 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of France features three equal vertical bands of blue, white, and red-the *tricolore*-with the blue on the hoist side. Its design originated during the French Revolution as a fusion of the royal white flag and the Parisian militia’s blue and red colors, officially adopted in 1794. The colors symbolize liberty (blue), equality (white), and fraternity (red), core principles of the French Republic.
