Where can you see the motto of the Republic?

In the exam (French)

Où peut-on voir la devise de la République ?

  1. aOn the tricolour flagSur le drapeau tricolore
  2. bOn the number plates of carsSur les plaques d’immatriculation des voitures
  3. cOn road signsSur les panneaux de signalisation routière
  4. dOn the front of town halls and schoolsSur la façade des mairies et des écolesCorrect answer

Why?

The motto “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” is written on many public buildings: town halls, schools, courts. Since 2019, the law requires it to be displayed on the front of primary schools, lower secondary schools (collèges) and upper secondary schools (lycées). You can also find it on some coins, on stamps and on official documents. The flag itself carries no writing.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in French, as shown above.
