Today, in modern French, the word "Gaule" is only used in a historical context. The only current use of the word is in the title of the leader of the French bishops, the archbishop of Lyon, whose official title is Primate of the Gauls ("Primat des Gaules"). Gaul is in the plural in the title, reflecting the three Gallic entities identified by the Romans ("Celtica", "Belgica", and "Aquitania"). The adjective "gaulois" (Gallic) is still sometimes used when a French person wants to stress some idiosyncrasies of the French people entrenched in history, such as "nos ancêtres les Gaulois" ("our ancestors the Gauls"), a phrase sometimes used in French when one wants to assert his own identity. During the Third Republic, the authorities often referred to "notre vieille nation gauloise" ("our old Gallic nation"), a case in which the adjective "gaulois" is used with a positive connotation. The word "gallicisme" is used sometimes in linguistic to express a specific form to the French language. In English, the word Gaul is never used in a modern context. The adjective Gallic is sometimes used to refer to French people, occasionally in a derisive and critical way, such as "Gallic pride". The "Coq Gaulois" ("Gallic rooster" in English) is also a national symbol of France, as for the French Football Federation. "Astérix le Gaulois" (Asterix, the Gaul) is a popular series of French comic books, following the exploits of a village of indomitable Gauls.
