France Flag

The National Flag of France was introduced in 1848 by the French Second Republic, shortly after the French Revolution. It has become one of the most well-known flags around the world, with other nations adopting the famous tricolour flag design. The colours, red, white and blue were inspired by the 10-year Revolution with the three colours representing liberty, equality and fraternity. Blue and red are also the traditional colours of Paris, while white has been a colour that has always been associated with the French flag.

Product Description

The French flag can be digitally printed or hand embroidered, ready for mounting on a flagpole.

Our recommendation for your flag is hand sewn national flags. Using 155gsm woven flag material that has been approved by the Ministry of Defence, these flags offer the best durability and have been used by the Navy and other military branches for years.

To create the official French pattern, our skilled flagmakers cut panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, and then sew them together to create hand-sewn France national flags. For national flag designs with complex details, a printed panel or badge is added to the main field.

Hand sewn French national flags are made to MoD & Flag Institute standard patterns by cutting panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, before being sewn together by our skilled flagmakers to create the official Mexico pattern.

Dye-sublimated France national flags are created using our state-of-the-art textile print systems and woven polyester flag fabric in our UK manufacturing facility. Chosen for strength and durability, knitted polyester is an ideal choice for anybody looking for a good value national flag finished ready to fly from your flagpole.

The flag is finished by hand with a headband rope and toggle as standard, ready to attach directly to a flagpole. The three exposed sides of the flag are finished with a strong double hem and a triple sewn hem on the fly edge for extra durability.
