Gallic rooster

The Gallic rooster (French: coq gaulois, pronounced [kɔk ɡolwa] ⓘ) is a national symbol of France as a nation, as opposed to Marianne representing France as a state and its values: the Republic.

A rooster, in a different pose, is also used as the symbol of the Wallonia and the French Community of Belgium.
