Bienvenue en France

 Drapeau Français

Under the ancien régime, France had a great

number of flags, and many of its military and
naval flags were elaborate and subject to 
artistic variations. 
The royal coat of arms, a blue shield with
three golden fleurs-de-lis, was the basis for the state flag. After the Bourbons came to
power, that shield was 
generally displayed against a background of the Bourbon dynastic colour, white.
 Napeleon Bonaparte
Napoleon I, also called Napoléon Bonaparte,
was a French military general and statesman.
Napoleon played a key role in the
French Revolution (1789–99),
served as first consul of France (1799–1804),
and was the first emperor of France
(1804–14/15). Today Napoleon is widely
considered one of the greatest military generals in history.
