One of the national emblems of France, the Coq Gaulois (the Gallic Rooster), decorated French flags during the Revolution. It is the symbol of the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus, meaning Gaul and gallus, meaning coq, or rooster.

In the Middle Ages, the Gallic Rooster was widely used as a religious symbol, a sign of hope and faith. During the Renaissance, the rooster began to be associated with the emerging French nation.
