The French presidency has reverted the blue of the country’s tricolour flag back to the pre-1976 navy tone in a nod to the Revolution.
The change of blue of the flags adorning the Elysée Palace was first made a year ago but went largely unnoticed.
Previously, the shade was lighter to match the blue of the European Union flag as decided by President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing in 1976.
