Flag of Wallis and Futuna

What the flag means

Blue and red are the old colours of Paris, associated with Saint Martin and Saint Denis. Lafayette called the white the ancient French colour.

History

An unofficial local flag, in use since 1985, is red with the French tricolour in the canton and a white square bearing a red saltire, set towards the fly. It is used de facto, especially at sporting events. The three traditional chiefdoms, Uvea, Alo and Sigave, have flags of their own.
