What things represent France?

There may be an official symbol of France listed somewhere that certainly would take precedence, so this is posted as an Unofficial French Symbols List: * The French Flag. (Recognized around the world since the French Revolution and the official flag since 1790, Le drapeau tricolore is, from the hoist, three equal vertical bands of Blue, White and Red.) * The Fleur de lis, which is certainly not recognized in France as a national symbol because of its association with hearldry and royalty, it is easily seen as French by most of the western world. * The Phrygian Cap which would not be seen as a symbol in much of the West, but has high status in France as a mark of Liberty. * The bust of Marianne, most often wearing such headgear could be named by any French school child as easily as Lady Liberty would be given a name by a US student. The beret and the kepi are also pure French, just as a Tam is to an Irishman, or a baseball cap or cowboy hat is to an American. * Architectural symbols that stand out include the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral and of course the Eiffel Tower.
