Today, I want to talk about a beautiful country that is incredibly rich in history and culture - France.

I am excited to share with you a fun activity that you and your family can do to learn more about France - colouring the French flag!
What is the French flag?
The French flag, also known as the “Tricolour,” consists of three vertical stripes coloured blue, white, and red. Each stripe has its symbolic meaning.
The blue stripe represents freedom, the white stripe represents equality, and the red stripe represents fraternity. These values are central to the French Republic, and therefore, the French flag is deemed a national symbol.
