Just after the French Revolution, the King Louis XVI had to accept to wear la cocarde, which is a circle ribbon composed of three colors, blue, white, and red. At this time, the blue and red colors represented the city of Paris, which was the center of the Revolution. The white color represented the Kings of France, such as the lily flower. The message of the flag was so : The King is now between the hands of Paris (until the Revolution, the King lived in Versailles).
