Today, when I came outside to go to school, I saw my flag, the the French flag.It was adopted in May 1794. The three colors of our flag are based a red, white, and blue cockade(a badge of concentric circles) which was worn by King Louis XVI while addressing a revolutionary gathering in Paris. The King had added white because he thought it represented French loyalty. The other colors, red and blue, are the traditional livery colors of Paris, our coutry's capital and my own hometown. Being one of the world's oldest flags, it was the inspiratation of many flags to come. If you live in France, you will know that our flag is commonly known as the 'French Tricolore' obviously meaning 'the three colored french flag'.
