Sacré bleu: French flag changes colour – but no one notices

Blue part of flags flying around Elysee Palace was made darker in July last year but change went largely unnoticed

Emmanuel Macron's office has darkened the blue in the French flags flying around the Elysee Palace to bring the tricolore in line with how it looked after the French revolution.

Presidential aides said the change happened in July last year, but nobody appears to have noticed until now.
