Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Saint Pierre and Miquelon does not have an official territorial flag. The French national flag is used officially. A widely recognized unofficial local flag combines symbols representing the Basque, Breton and Norman origins of many settlers, along with the ship Grande Hermine, reflecting the islands' French maritime heritage.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon has remained under French sovereignty for most of its history, except for brief periods of British control. The islands became an Overseas Collectivity of France in 1985. While France's tricolour is the official flag, the unofficial local flag is commonly used as a cultural symbol.
