France has a long and rich history of regional identities and cultures, which are often reflected in the flags of its provinces. Here is some information about a few notable provincial flags:
Brittany - The flag of Brittany, or Breizh in the Breton language, is known as the Gwenn-ha-du, which means "white and black" in Breton. It features nine horizontal stripes alternating between white and black, with an ermine canton in the upper left-hand corner.
Corsica - The flag of Corsica features a white Moor's head on a red background, with a white band running along the left edge of the flag. The Moor's head represents the island's history of being ruled by North African powers.
Savoy - The flag of Savoy consists of a white cross on a red background, with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy in the center. The House of Savoy was a powerful noble family that ruled over a large part of Italy before playing a major role in the unification of Italy in the 19th century.
Provence - The flag of Provence features a yellow field with a red band running diagonally across it. The band is sometimes depicted as fringed with small blue flames, which represent the ancient Greek myth of the fire-breathing monster known as the Chimera.
Alsace - The flag of Alsace features a white stork on a blue background, with two yellow stripes running vertically along either side of the bird. The stork is a symbol of the province's abundant wildlife, while the yellow stripes represent the region's two major rivers, the Rhine and the Ill.
