What do the colors of the French flag represent?
Answer:
Red and Blue are the colors of the City of Paris.
And you wondered why Paris has always been considered the heartbeat of France?
White, flanked on both sides by Red and Blue represents the monarchy (no longer with its standard fleur-de-lys). Originally the new republic’s flag was intended to have a linden tree as the isignia in the middle of the flag. The linden tree that inspired this idea once stood in the center of the Palais Royal gardens.
Currently, Canada is one of the few countries in the world to have chosen a tree - or the leaf of a tree (the maple) to be included as part of its national flag. In French the word for linden tree is ’tilleul’.
