Jeanne d'Arc street (Orléans) were different regional and communal flags are hung
This is a list of communal flags in France. Communal flags are rarely used in France as communes usually favor coats of arms. As a result, the info presented in this list also describes coats of arms.
A field of gules (red color), in which a lion appears rampant (of profile and erect) and of silver (white color). In chief, azure with three fleurs-de-lis Or (A blue division occupying the upper third (this is the "Head of France", granted to all "Bonnes Villes", which shows the heraldry of his former monarchs) with three stylised lily flowers) The flag was already used on city seals in the Middle Ages and was given to the city as a symbol by Philip V in 1320 after its liberation.[1]

Created in 1997 by the Société bretonne de Vexillologie, as a reminder that the town's toponymy and history are linked to the legend of the Arthurian Romance.[3]
The earliest known mention of the flag of Rennes (early 16th century) shows the municipal shield (played argent and sable of six pieces, on a chief argent three ermine spots sable) on a bistre yellow background. More recently, various variants have been used, both by the municipality and by other organizations in Rennes. The drawing opposite is the most common. Some believe that Morvan Marchal drew inspiration from it to create the flag of Brittany. Another design is used by the Bleuñ-Brug of Finistère and seems to have come from the mark of the Cercle Celtique de Rennes. A version featuring the tilted shield has been adopted by the Vern-sur-Seiche bagad.[4]
A white flag sown with black ermines, with the city's coat of arms in the center, was used on the Rennes City Hall in contemporary times.[5]
Saint-Malo's current flag is a blue flag with a white cross (the emblem of war ports under Louis XIV) and a gules franc quartier charged with a white ermine on a gold portcullis. Known as the "corsair flag", this is the flag of ships registered at the Saint-Malo Admiralty (and not the flag of Malouin privateers).[6] In existence since the 18th century, privateers were only required to fly the following flags in the event of an attack: King's flag under the Ancien Régime, or the national tricolor flag from the Revolution onwards.
Banner of arms. On the first, the lion is that of Léon bearing the bishop's crozier (crosse épiscopale de gueules). The lion refers to the name of Léon, Leo, and the crosier recalls that the town was, before the Revolution, the seat of the bishopric of Léon (now attached to the bishopric of Quimper). It's a lion with horns (no claws, tongue or teeth). The second features the escutcheon of a defended boar (white tusks) with a gold crown around its neck, holding a red tower with three turrets, on a background of Breton ermines.
Banner of arms. There is a notable difference between the coat of arms and the flag: the ermine on the flag is curled and adorned with the floating garter of Brittany, whereas the ermine on the coat of arms is tied with ermine doubled in gold. The red background symbolizes Bro Gwened, whose capital was Vannes.
The flag has a vertical tricolour of groen, yellow and red. Green represents meadows, yellow harvests and red vines. The flag was originally that of Berry. It was taken over by the commune of Châteauroux.
The flag is flamed with twenty red and white pieces, with an armorial canton featuring the Mulhouse Wheel. It was the official flag of the Republic of Mulhouse until Reunion in 1798.
The flag is a horizontal bicolour consisting of a blue and white stripe. The colours are derived from the corresponding city coat of arms. In this, white was used as the background colour of the coat of arms and blue for the shield head.
The city flag is white and has a diagonal red stripe, a crossbar, across its width. The design is derived from the corresponding city coat of arms, which in turn is derived from old city seals. Possibly the division has to do with the (former) location of Strasbourg on the border between the Roman and Germanic empires. The red crossbar thereby refers to the name "The Road's Town" and the city's strategic location. The colours of the flag were also derived from the flag of Alsace.
The town's flag is that of the Boulonnais militia, created in 1670 and divided into several regiments of infantry, cavalry and dragoons, whose sole purpose was to defend the province and the coast. The flag, known as the "flag of the Boulonnais troops", was set by the Duc d'Aumont, Louis-Marie-Augustin d'Aumont, governor of the town and the Boulonnais region. These flags were burned in 1792, along with some communal archives and wooden religious statues.[7] Today, the flag flies atop the belfry and over the entrance to the town hall.
The flag shows the municipal coat of arms on a yellow field. The gold-coloured flag represents Cambrai's traditional coat of arms: a golden coat of arms featuring a double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, each of whose heads are haloed in red (gules), as are the beaks and claws, and to which the Cambrésis coat of arms (Or, three azure lion cubs), the Legion of Honour and the Croix de guerre are affixed, all surmounted by a ducal crown.
The flag is silver fess azure, i.e. on a white background are three blue stripes, the lowest stripe being blue. The history of this flag is little known: under Spanish rule, the Dunkirk navy had its own flag. In 1662, when Dunkirk became definitively French, King Louis XIV honored the Dunkirk privateers with a special flag to encourage sea racing. Issued on June 24, 1684, it was white with a blue cross in the center. Over the following century, the Dunkirkers kept two flags: the first blue and white, and the second a red cross on a white background. On December 8, 1817, the Dunkirk flag was replaced by official decree by the Cherbourg flag, which is white with two blue stripes. Over time, the flag was given an extra stripe, and became the one we know today.[8]

The flag has a vertical tricolour of black, white and yellow. The town of Arcachon regularly uses the flag shown opposite, which was adopted in 1857 when the town was created, while the meaning of the colors has changed over time, these three colors were adopted by the French flag. Black represents darkness, past failures and solitude; white represents the present and the awakening of consciousness, recalling the dawn; yellow represents the light of the future and the city.[11]
The flag shows the municipal coat of arms on a white field. The red and blue shield in the centre contains three fleur-de-lis, a leopard or lion, a white castle and a crescent moon.
The flag is a blue and red bicolor charged with the city's coat of arms. It is used officially by the town council and flies in front of the Arènes and the Palais des Congrès.
The flag shows the municipal coat of arms on a white field. This shows the Virgin Mary holding her son Jesus and seated on a throne. At the top left and right, the capital letters A and M can be seen. These stand for the words Ave Maria. At the bottom of the coat of arms is a white shield with a red circle. This represents the coat of arms of the Guilhem dynasty. Guilhem was a lord who ruled Montpellier between the 11th and 13th centuries.
The city flag is red and shows a large yellow cross in the centre. This is the Occitan cross and dates back as far as 1211. At the time, it appeared on a seal. The cross was derived from a Latin cross and probably assigned to Raymond VI. Raymond was a leader of the low Crusaders and, according to legend, had the same cross affixed to the shields of his men. In order to attach the cross to a shield, the design had to be modified in a practical sense. Then, gradually, the Occitan cross was created.
White cross of the Kingdom of France on the black cross of Brittany. A ship against a red background on a green and white sea in the canton. These are common heraldic elements that were widely used by knights on their arms.
Marseille flag (on the right side) in the Cathedral of Saint Mary MajorThe Saint-François tower ('tour Saint-François') in Nice on the French Riviera. The flag of Nice flies on the top of this clock tower, formerly bell tower of a Franciscan monastery.

The commune has a flag, used for events such as the bravade, which features the colors of the coat of arms, two vertical stripes, red on the staff side and white on the outside.
The city flag is white and displays a light blue cross across its entire surface. The flag is widely used in France for boats and buildings. The cross is a reference to the flags of the crusaders, while azure is the colour of the city. Attested since the 11th century, it is one of the oldest French and European flags. The first preserved representation of Marseille's coat of arms dates from the end of the 11th century.[14][15]
Flag of the County of Nice (1108–1176) The flag is white with three blue wavy lines at the bottom. Above are elements of the city coat of arms: a red eagle posing on three green hills. The eagle is an imperial emblem and a reference to the House of Savoy, which ruled over the land around Nice. This land (and territorial honour) is represented by the three hills, although they are not geographically correct.
The flag has a vertical bicolour of blue at the left and yellow at the right. The two colours are taken from the municipal coat of arms. The old logo had these background colors, which the new one no longer has.
The flag is blue with a yellow ship, said to be Grande Hermine, which brought Jacques Cartier to Saint Pierre on 15 June 1536. Three square fields placed along the hoist recall the origin of most inhabitants of the islands, from top to bottom, Basques, Bretons, and Normans.
