Proposal of provincial flag

by Pierre Gay

This flag was proposed by the Western Vexillological Society (Société Vexillologique de l'Ouest) in1993 and released in 1994.
The white stripe stands for Upper-Poitou and the black stripe for Lower-Poitou. The red lion was used in the Middle Ages as an emblem by the Poitevins.
