When was the current flag of France adopted?

Answer 1

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 long-time colours of the town - which he put on his hat next to the white cocard (French kingdom emblem at the time), as a gesture towards the people of Paris.

The three colours were used in different orders (blue-red-white for the scarf of public officials in 1790, white-red-blue in horizontal bands for the 'Fête de la Fédération' on the 14th of July 1790. In 1790 were also adopted new versions of ship's pavilions, despite some traditionalists arguing that because of the colours, it would resemble too much the Dutch flag.

The flag was adopted officially by the Convention as the national flag only in 1794 (15th of February).

Answer 2

The French flag was officially adopted as national emblem in February 1794. The colours were adopted in the very first days of the French Revolution, the historian Bernard Coppens quoting evidence of their use as early as the 14th of July (the day of the storming of the Bastille, which marks the beginning of the French revolution).

Answer 3

During a visit the king made to parisians in the early hours of the revolution, he was given a blue and red cocard (the colours of the town) which he put next to his white cocard on his hat.

In 1794 the painter David proposed that the three colours were used on the new national flag.

Answer 4

the French flag is the official French pavilion since 1794. It was drawn by Jacques Louis David, famous French painter, at the demand of the National Convention. 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.

Under the previous regime, the flag was the personal flag of the kings and used to be white as the monarchy placed itself under the protection of the Virgin Mary.
