France Flag - Official National Flag of the French Republic #1273290 (License: Personal Use)

The French national flag, known as the Tricolore, consists of three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), white, and red. It was first adopted in 1794 during the French Revolution as a symbol of the republic and has undergone minor design adjustments since, most notably in 1976 when the blue was changed from navy to a brighter cobalt shade. The colors represent the revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
