In the exam (French)

Lesquels sont des symboles officiels de la République française ?

  1. aThe tricolour flag, the Marseillaise and the mottoLe drapeau tricolore, la Marseillaise et la deviseCorrect answer
  2. bThe Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the LouvreLa tour Eiffel, l’Arc de triomphe et le Louvre
  3. cThe fleur-de-lis, the crown and the sceptreLa fleur de lys, la couronne et le sceptre
  4. dThe eagle, the bee and the imperial crownL’aigle, l’abeille et la couronne impériale

Why?

Article 2 of the Constitution sets out the symbols of the Republic: the blue, white and red flag, the national anthem (the Marseillaise) and the motto “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” (“Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”). Marianne and 14 July are also symbols of the Republic, but the Constitution does not mention them. Monuments such as the Eiffel Tower are famous, but they are not symbols of the Republic.
