Flag of the Regional Council

by Pierre Gay

The Regional Council of Rhône-Alpes adopted a flag on 2 January 1991. The flag is white with the regional logo: eight vertical lines which symbolize the eight departments of the region.

The bottom blue line stands for the river Rhône which crosses each of the eight departments.

Philippe-Pierre Darras, 18 January 1999
