France Flag
What is the flag of France?
Flag Description:
three equal vertical bands of blue (hoist side), white, and red; known
as the "Le drapeau tricolore" (French Tricolor), the origin of the flag
dates to 1790 and the French Revolution; the design and/or colors are
similar to a number of other flags, including those of Belgium, Chad,
Ireland, Cote d'Ivoire, Luxembourg, and Netherlands; the official flag
for all French dependent areas
Coat of Arms of France
The Coat of Arms of the French Republic is the symbol of the French
Republic since 1953. Technically speaking, it is an emblem rather than a coat of
arms, since it doesn't respect heraldical rules -- heraldry being seen as an
aristocratic art, and therefore associated with the Ancien Régime.
The olive tree symbolises peace; the oak symbolises perennity. "RF" mean
République Française (French Republic). The fasces is a symbol associated
with justice (from ancient Rome lictor's axes, in this case not fascism).
