French Polynesia Flag
French Polynesia's flag is a tricolor flag with two red horizontal bands encasing a large white band in a 1:2:1 ratio. The coat of arms of French Polynesia is depicted in the center of the white band, with a blue and white wave design representing the sea and a gold and white ray pattern signifying the sun.
A Polynesian canoe crewed by five stars, representing the five island groups of French Polynesia, separates the wave and sun patterns. The flag's red and white colors are typical Polynesian colors. The flag of French Polynesia must be exhibited with the French tricolor, and it may also be displayed with the flags of the component archipelagos, according to the articles of adoption.
The French Polynesian flag must be placed to the left of the French flag, and the archipelago flag to the right. French Polynesia's flag was approved in 1984 and serves as the civil and state flag of the French overseas territory.
