Why?
The blue, white and red tricolour flag is the national emblem set out in Article 2 of the Constitution. The fleur-de-lis was the symbol of the kings of France, and the eagle that of Napoleon’s Empire. The Cross of Lorraine was the symbol of Free France during the Second World War, not of the Republic.
