Description of the flag

The first arms (1173) of the Archbishopric of Dol were red with lozenges of ermine. Later, those arms were changed for a blazon quartered Silver and Gules (white and red), similar to the arms of the Breton city of combourg. The new flag combines elements of both blazons: it is quartered white and red, with three black ermines placed 2 + 1 in each white quarter, recalling the arms and flag of the city of Dol.

The flag was created by Yoran Delacour (1996).and approved by the Breton Vexillological Society.
