This coat of arms cannot be considered as an official symbol of french Republic!...

(I am a frenchman, teatcher of History near Paris...)

[edit] France vs French Republic

This article has been renamed from "Coat od arms of the French Republic" to "coat of arms of France".

This is fine by me, but it is important to understand that the two do not mean the same thing. With the present denomination, the proper "coat of arms of France" would be three golden Fleurs de lys on a blue field with the Order of the Holy Ghost, etc. , plus the history of the evolution of the coat of arms.

The "coat of arms of the French Republic" is not a "proper" coat of arms, and it does not replace the coat of arms of the kingdom of France. I think that the matter should be addressed, and frankly, I think that have two separate articles could be an option. Rama 08:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of arms of the Ancien Régime?

Is the pre-1789 coat of arms anywhere to be found on wikipedia? It would be nice to add its image to this page, to contrast it with the current emblem.
