The colours of Paris are the origin of the blue and red stripes in the flag of France, while the white stripe originally symbolised the monarchy.[1] The French flag's colours were adopted as a cockade during the early stages of the French Revolution, when the country was still in the process of becoming a constitutional monarchy.
