Diplomatic emblem of France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The diplomatic emblem of France is an unofficial emblem of the French Republic. It was adopted in 1913 by the French Foreign Ministry as a symbol for use by French diplomatic missions and consular posts abroad.[1] It was based on an earlier design by the sculptor Jules-Clément Chaplain.[2] The emblem also appears on the cover of French passports.
