Flags of the regions of France

Common card · No. 388598

The galleries below show flags of France attributed to the metropolitan regions, former regions, departments, overseas regions, collectivities and subdivisions. The official status of many regional and territorial flags in France is often unclear. Since the late 20th centuries, many regional and local authorities have adopted logos as their primary emblems, which are subsequently displayed on logo flags. Such flags often serve as de facto institutional symbols but usually lack formal heraldic or vexillological recognition. Alongside these are numerous traditional regional flags, whose status also varies. Some historical flags date back centuries, while others are banners of arms or more recent designs created by private individuals or associations. In some cases, these flags have later gained semi-official or customary use through adoption by public institutions, commemorative coinage, public transport, or municipal buildings.
