It was the French Revolution that established the rooster as a fitting symbol to represent the identity of the people of France, and although briefly replaced with the eagle by Napoleon, the rooster returned during the First World War to represent resistance and bravery in the face of the Prussian eagle. The rooster, coming from peasant origins with a proud and courageous character, perfectly depicted the ideals of the French people and how they wished others to see them.


Today, the rooster remains a national symbol of France, although not an official one and a quintessential french country decor symbol, decorating bake wear, soft furnishings and other homewares.
