Flag France

The French flag is a French national flag measuring 90 by 150 centimetres, with three vertical bands of equal width in blue, white and red.

Hang it over the balcony railing or against the building’s façade, or wave it above your head in the stands or at the pub during a match. Whether you are cheering for France at the European Championships or the World Cup or decorating for a party with French flair, this instantly recognisable tricolour is the perfect addition.

How big is this French flag and how are the colours arranged?

• The flag measures 90 centimetres high and 150 centimetres wide.
• The fabric is divided into three vertical bands of equal width, with blue at the flagpole end, white in the centre and red at the flying end.
• The blue is a dark navy blue and the red is a bright red, with no print, coat of arms or text.
• You will receive one flag, so you will need to provide your own flagpole or hanging equipment.

The French tricolour next to the Dutch flag

In France, the national flag is called the tricolore, after the three colours from which it takes its name. It shares blue, white and red with the Dutch flag, but its bands are vertical rather than horizontal. This makes it instantly recognisable as French, even from a distance. When hanging it up, make sure the blue band is on the flagpole or railing end, otherwise the flag will be displayed in reverse.

How to use the flag at a match or party

At a European Championship or World Cup football match, drape the flag over your shoulders like a cape or stretch it across the barriers along the pitch with a few friends. For a French-themed evening at home, hang it behind a table laden with baguette and cheese, and the tricolour will instantly set the scene. At a party, incorporate the blue, white and red into the rest of the French decorations to create a cohesive look.

Order the French flag and add the French tricolour to your balcony, seat in the stands or party venue.
