the cocarde (English 'cockade') was adopted as a rallying sign by revolutionaries. Cockades were popular at the time and the mayor of Paris presented the king Louis XVI, a blue and red cockade (the colours of the town) which the king put next to his white one. There are several different stories about the birth of that three-coloured cockade, which according to the French historian Bernard Coppens, existed days before the king's visit to the Pairs town hall.

Why is the emblem of France a cockerail?
The former name of France (Gaul) was homonymous in Latin, with the species "Gallus" (the hen and rooster family). In some periods of French history, the rooster as the emblem of the ancestors of the French came back in favour, partly due to nostalgy, partly due to the rejection of monarchic emblems. That was the case under the French revolution and at the end of the 19th Century, when French history was revisited. In addition France was a Catholic country, and the rooster was also a Catholic symbol, figuring in the story of St Peter in the Bible; also crowing for the day, it announces the return of the day, as in the resurrection.
