Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine | The earliest known mention of the flag of Rennes (early 16th century) shows the municipal shield (palyed 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, Ille-et-Vilaine | 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. | |
![]() |
Saint-Pol-de-Léon, Finistère | 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. | |
![]() |
Ushant, Finistère | Banner of arms. | |

Vannes, Morbihan | 20th century | 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. |

Strasbourg, Bas-Rhin | 1262 | 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 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.

Dunkirk, Nord | 17th century | 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 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. |
