Flags of Franche-Comté

The Franche-Comté flag is composed of a dark blue background, bars of gold and a golden lion in the centre (crowned lion rampant with red claws and tongue). It is one of the symbols of the french Region of Franche-Comté, a former region located in the north-east of France (nowadays part of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region) and formerly called "Comté de Bourgogne". This wonderful Franche-Comté flag was inspired by the heraldry blazon of Franche-Comté of High Middle-Ages. Lovers of Vin jaune white wine, Cancoillotte or Morbier Cheeses, Montbéliard or Morteau sausages, the Franche Comté has everything to offer, pay tribute to this beautiful land with the purchase of a gorgeous Franche-Comté region flag !
