Again a joke ! The rooster comes from Asterix as everybody (?) knows.....
Just think it is nice when you can have a laugh at yourself.

"The Coq Gaulois or the Gallic Rooster is one of the national symbols of France. The French Flag during the revolution was decorated with the image of the Gallic Rooster. In 1848, this bird was found on the seal of the Republic and in 1899, the rooster was the motif of 20 franc coins. It can also be found on stamps and usually figures as the emblem of French National team in International Sports Events."
Personally, I prefer the painting of a bare-breasted Marianne on the barricades in Eugène Delacroix's "Liberté Guidant le peuple" (1830),

Very simple. The rooster starts stuff and runs away while crowing how great it is all the time.
