The French flag is based on a revolutionary cockade created during the French Revolution in 1789, after the fall of the Bastille. It takes the colours of red and blue, the colours of Paris (blue representing equality, and the need for the first two Estates to maintain their duty to the common people, or the Third Estate, as well as sharing the burden of taxes; red representing liberty, the colour of the bonnet rouge, a hat of liberty worn by revolutionaries). The red and blue are combined with white, symbol of the Bourbon monarchy.

The flag represents everything the French Revolution stood for, including all the ideals mentioned in the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen, the 1791 and 1795 Constitutions, founded on liberal bourgeois ideals of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The colours of the flag are a symbol of the achievements that were won through the Revolution.
