About the flag
The Tricolore comes from the French Revolution: blue and red were the colours of Paris, and white was the colour of the monarchy. It inspired many other tricolour flags.
How to spot it: Vertical blue-white-red with blue at the hoist; the Netherlands has the same colours in horizontal red-white-blue.
