The flag of the city of Bordeaux, a town in southwestern France, is a blue and red flag with the coat of arms of Bordeaux in the centre.

The Bordeaux coat of arms originates from the time of Richard the Lionheart.  Its elements recall the history of the Bordeaux city in a figurative and symbolic way. The central Bordeaux coat of arms is "Gules à la Grosse-Cloche ouverte, openworked and masoned Sable and ensigned by a leopard Or; on the sea Azure, wavy Sable and Argent, charged with a crescent Gules; on the chief Azure semé de fleurs de lys". It is surrounded by two antelopes chained to a floral necklace.

Deciphering the Bordeaux coat of arms:

The "Grosse-Cloche" fortress is a stylized representation of Bordeaux's city hall.

The leopard refers to the kings of England (the city was under English occupation for a period of time).

The drawing of the blue sea evokes the Gironde River. In fact, the Bordeaux football team is nicknamed "Les Girondins de Bordeaux"?

The field of fleur-de-lis at the top of the coat of arms represents the kings of France and it is a part of the shield that was added after the English occupation.

The last element is the crescent which evokes the semi-circular shape of the port of Bordeaux, nicely named "Port de la Lune".
