France's flag, the tricolore, has blue, white and red vertical stripes. It represents France, the French language and French culture.
Travelers post ๐ซ๐ท with ๐ฅ, ๐ท and ๐ผ from Paris. Football fans use it for Les Bleus, and people mark Bastille Day on 14 July with it. Learners tag French lessons with it too.
French speakers in Quebec, Belgium, Switzerland and Africa may prefer their own flags when talking about the language.
