法国国旗
The national flag of France (known in French as drapeau tricolore,drapeau français,and in military parlance,les couleurs) is a tricolour featuring three vertical bands coloured royal blue (hoist side),white,and red.It is known to English speakers as the French tricolour or simply the tricolour.
The royal government used many flags,the best known being a blue shield and yellow fleur-de-lis on a white background,or state flag.Early in the French Revolution,the Paris militia,which played a prominent role in the storming of the Bastille,wore a cockade of blue and red,the city's traditional colors.According to Lafayette,white,the "ancient French colour",was added to militia cockade to create a tricolor,or national,cockade.[1] This cockade became part of the uniform of the National Guard,which succeeded the militia and was commanded by Lafayette.The colors and design of the cockade are the basis of the Tricolor flag,adopted in 1790.A modified design by Jacques-Louis David was adopted in 1794.A solid white flag was used during the Bourbon restoration in 1815-1830,but the tricolor has been used since.
凡尔赛宫
The Palace of Versailles,or simply Versailles,is a royal château in Versailles,the Île-de-France region of France.In French,it is known as the Château de Versailles.
When the château was built,Versailles was a country village; today,however,it is a suburb of Paris,some twenty kilometers southwest of the French capital.The court of Versailles was the center of political power in France from 1682,when Louis XIV moved from Paris,until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of French Revolution.Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building,but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.
