Rooster Coq
Why on earth did the FRENCH adopt the rooster (coq) as a?

symbol ?? Don't we look silly ???? I mean an eagle, dragon etc are way cooler.......!
I still would like to keep international relationships smooth you know.......:-)
Should they change it ? With that avian flu going around ??
Slacker : even a moose would be better !
Again a joke ! The rooster comes from Asterix as everybody (?) knows.....

Just think it is nice when you can have a laugh at yourself.

"The Coq Gaulois or the Gallic Rooster is one of the national symbols of France. The French Flag during the revolution was decorated with the image of the Gallic Rooster. In 1848, this bird was found on the seal of the Republic and in 1899, the rooster was the motif of 20 franc coins. It can also be found on stamps and usually figures as the emblem of French National team in International Sports Events."

Personally, I prefer the painting of a bare-breasted Marianne on the barricades in Eugène Delacroix's "Liberté Guidant le peuple" (1830),
