In the exam (French)
Lequel de ces symboles représente officiellement la République française ?
- aThe blue, white and red flagLe drapeau bleu, blanc, rougeCorrect answer
- bThe fleur-de-lis on a blue fieldLa fleur de lys sur fond bleu
- cThe imperial eagle with open wingsL’aigle impérial aux ailes ouvertes
- dThe Cross of Lorraine, double-barredLa croix de Lorraine à double barre
Why?
The blue, white and red tricolour flag is the national emblem written in Article 2 of the Constitution. The fleur-de-lis was the symbol of the kings of France, and the eagle was the symbol of Napoleon’s Empire. The Cross of Lorraine was the symbol of Free France (la France libre) during the Second World War, not of the Republic.
