French Flag - National Symbol of France | Official Tricolor Design #1273261 (License: Personal Use)

The French national flag consists of three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), white, and red. It was first adopted in 1794 during the French Revolution and has since become a powerful symbol of republicanism and democratic values. The colors represent historical elements: blue and red from Parisian militia cockades, and white for the monarchy-later reinterpreted as purity and unity.
