(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.
