the French flag is the official French pavilion since 1794. It was drawn by Jacques Louis David, famous French painter, but it has its origins in July 1789. Shortly after the fall of the Bastille, the king visited the Paris town hall and was handed a blue and red cocard - the colours of the town - which he put on his hat next to the white cocard (French royalty emblem at the time), as a gesture towards the people of Paris. The white flag replaced the three-colour flag in 1814-1815, and from 1815 to 1830, during the two first periods when the monarchy was reinstated.
If at times symbols (example on: http://svowebmaster.free.fr/drapeaux_France.htm) appeared on the flag, the official flag bears no symbol.
