NOTE

Legacy of Colors: Symbolism in Revolution

The colors of the French Tricolor flag—white, blue, and red—carry deep historical and symbolic meanings. White represents the monarchy, while blue and red are associated with the city of Paris and its patron saints. Blue symbolizes Saint Martin of Tours, known for his act of charity towards a beggar, embodying humility and compassion. Red stands for Saint Denis, a martyr associated with the origins of Montmartre, reflecting sacrifice and enduring faith. Together, these colors connect the ideals of the revolution with important figures and themes from Parisian history.
