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.
