La Réunion, 1794

La Réunion, 1794

The French Revolution brought an end to the French monarchy, and in 1790, a tricolour flag red-white-blue derived from the cockades used during the French Revolution was approved. The order was reversed to blue-white-red, the current design, by a resolution passed on 15 February 1794. It also became the flag flown on Réunion until 1810, when it was occupied by the British and between 1814 and 1830, when the Bourbon Monarchy was restored, and a white flag with 86 gold fleurs de lis served as an alternative royal standard of France. In 1830 the tricolore, the tricolour flag, was officially established again.
