The presence of the Gallic ensign has sparked curiosity among passersby, who initially linked it to the upcoming World Cup semifinal between Spain and France.
However, the capital's City Council has explained that the flag is usually raised to commemorate this date, as a sign of the city's historical and cultural ties with the French people.
The July 14th celebration in France commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Federation Festival held a year later.
