The "tricolor" (three-color) flag is an emblem of the Fifth Republic. It had its origins in the union, at the time of the French Revolution, of the colors of the King (white) and the City of Paris (blue and red). Some speculate that the colors of the flag are representative of the three main social classes of the Ancien Régime. As such, the clergy were represented by the white, the nobility by the red and the bourgeoisie by the blue.
