Flying the tricolor

I guess they'll replace those empty flagstaffs with the France's other national flag, the one that is all white. (They've already hoisted that one at the hotels they run in the Middle East.)

Funnily enough the pre revolutionary flag of France was in fact white. Which may explain something
