===Origin/meaning===
The border is canting since it shows the French national colours (the name means city of France). The Portuguese explorer Savorgnan De Brazza assembled a fleet here before he set off to explore the great Congo River, that event is recalled by the flag from his arms and the anchor. The black colour symbolises Africa.
