The flag of Réunion is the flag of the department of Réunion. The region uses the flag of France, the national flag of the country. Although the decentralization of France installed a number of flags of the metropolitan regions, Réunion does not have a separate official flag. However, the Regional Council of Réunion does have a flag.
Other flags
Lö Mahavéli
The Vexillological Association of Réunion selected a flag in 2003. It depicts the volcano of la Fournaise, bedecked by gold sunbeams. It was designed in 1974 by Guy Pignolet with help of Jean Finck and Didier Finck who called it Lö Mahavéli but it really started to be promoted once the association chose it in 2003.[1] It does not have official recognition but since 2014, it is flying outside or on top of many public buildings, like at the town halls of Saint-Denis and Saint-Philippe, after several city councils have taken the decision to do so.[2][3] The flag is included in many versions of emoji.[4]
Regional council flag
The Regional Council of Réunion uses a flag depicting a stylized representation of the island with the text "Region Reunion". Variants also exist which add the words "Valorisons nos atouts" (Let's value our strengths) in French and five coloured squares to represent equality and diversity.[5][6]
Independentist flag
Independentists and nationalists of Réunion also have their flag (green, yellow, red), created in 1986.[7] Green symbolizes the marronage, yellow symbolizes the working class and red symbolizes the period of slavery and indentured labour imposed by the French, struck by a yellow star with five points.
