French National Flag - Symbol of France’s History and Identity #2124102 (License: Personal Use)

The French flag features three equal vertical bands of blue, white, and red, representing liberty, equality, and fraternity-the core ideals of the French Republic. Originally introduced in 1790, its design evolved through political upheavals and was standardized in 1830; the current proportions and shade specifications were formalized in 1976. It is flown at government buildings, international events, and civic celebrations across France and its overseas territories.
