The 10-metre French flag bunting is a ten-metre-long garland of triangular pennants, each bearing the vertical French tricolour of blue, white and red. Drape it along the ceiling, a fence or between two trees, and combine it with other French decorations to dress up an entire room. It’s the perfect way to set the scene for a French match during the European or World Cup, or for a French evening at home.

Blue, white and red: the French tricolour
The French flag is called the tricolour and consists of three vertical bands of equal width in blue, white and red. These vertical bands are what distinguish it from the Dutch flag, which uses the same colours horizontally and in a different order. Blue is also the colour associated with the supporters of the French national football team, which is not called Les Bleus for nothing. A garland in these colours makes it immediately clear which country you are cheering for.
Hanging the French garland for a football evening or dinner
If you are watching a French match, hang the garland in a wavy line above the screen so that the tricolour is visible in every shot. For a French evening, hang it above the set table or along the bar, where the pennants will remain at eye level. At ten metres long, you have enough length to hang it in two rows or stretch it in a zigzag pattern across the patio. Secure the cord with hooks or adhesive tape at a few fixed points to keep the pennant garland taut.
Bring the French flag bunting into your home and instantly add colour to your football evening or French evening.
