    • 1970, Robert Beauvais, L’hexagonal tel qu’on le parle:
      Qu’est-ce que l’Hexagone ? C’est la France. Mais le mot «France», entaché d’une affectivité suspecte, petite-bourgeoise, tend à basculer vers le folklore ; le langage contemporain lui préfère celui d’Hexagone qui, dans sa pureté fonctionnelle, semble mieux adapté à la définition d’une grande nation moderne.
      What is the "Hexagon"? It is France. But the word "France", blemished by a suspect, petit bourgeois affectivity, tends to fall into folklore; the contemporary language prefers "Hexagon", which, in its functional purity, seems better adapted to the definition of a great modern nation.
    • 1975, “Hexagone”, in Amoureux de Paname, performed by Renaud:
      Être né sous le signe de l’Hexagone / C’est vraiment pas une sinécure / Et le roi des cons sur son trône / Il est français, ça j’en suis sûr
      Being born under the sign of Hexagon / It's not so much a sinecure / And the king of fools upon his throne / He's French, of that I'm sure
