Collection: French tricolor cockades

Before being a flag, the tricolor was a cockade. It is said that it was La Fayette who gave Louis XVI, received at the Hôtel de Ville three days after the storming of the Bastille, a tricolor cockade, declaring: "I bring you a cockade that will go around the world."

White represented the monarchy, while blue and red took up the colours of the city of Paris, a sign, according to the mayor of the city, of "the august and eternal alliance between the monarch and the people". The tricolour cockade then became a symbol of patriotism and began to flourish in buttonholes.
