If the French are going to pick a hat to represent them, wouldn't the beret be more iconic?

They looked at their history and asked themselves, "What were the people wearing when they were lopping off bourgeoisie heads?"

No, one of the main symbols of France is La Marianne - meant to be the allegory of the French Republic, the democracy that followed the revolution. Most paintings of the revolution have her in it. And she wears that red peasant’s hat. The beret is a stereotype, sure. But has no meaning in France.

La Mariane always has her tits out which is why so many people haven't noticed her hat.
