Franco-American Flag

Franco-Américain Flag

The Franco-American Flag was deployed officially for the first time on June 24, 1992 in Manchester, New Hampshire. The flag was presented by Édith Butler in her concert tour in that state.

The colors: blue, white, and red symbolise both France and the United States of America. The star symbolises the Franco-Américan unity and solidarity to America. The fleur de lys at the right of the flag is in memory of their attachment to French Canada or that of France for those of French origin.

June 24, 2012, marked the twentieth anniversary of the Franco-American Flag. June 24 was also designated as the official Franco-American Day in the states of Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
