List of French flags

The galleries below show flags attributed to the eighteen (formerly, twenty-seven) regions, five overseas collectivities, one sui generis collectivity, and one overseas territory of France. Most of them are both non-official and traditional as regions often use their logos as the flags though some regions use their banners as the flags.
