This blue colour was one of the symbols of the Capetian kings dynasty.

the French flag is made of three vertical bars (blue to the mast, white, red). There is no official emblem or drawing on the flag.

At the beginning of the French revolution, these colours were added to the white (the colour of the monarchy, in reference to the Virgin Mary).


How did the French flag get its colors?

I must have answered this ten times now.

Please note that the French flag is not red, white and blue, but blue, white and red.
