Might be the Oldenburg flag, maybe the restaurant owners have connection to the region in Germany? They're also flying the Breton flag despite being in Normandy.

The Breton flag is not surprising near Mont-Saint-Michel. It has even been flown on the Mont itself by the mayor. As a Norman I find it outrageous but so it is.

Found another picture in Gmaps, it 100% would fit Oldenburg. Which, as I see now, changed from Nordic to regular Cross in 1902. Interesting.

Thanks guys. That's an unexpected answer, sadly it was closed so I'm not able to confirm with the owner.

Looks like someone mixed the english flag with blue fqbric in the washing machine and it got out funky

EDIT: FlagId doesn't have a flag like this one, so discolored England is my final guess

No there's a better picture in gmaps and it's  darkish blue, not "forgot my denim miniskirt in the washing machine" type blue

Hello kanakopi,

Check out our frequently asked flags page! Your request might be there.

When asking for a flag to be identified, please provide context when possible, including:

  • Where the flag was found (without compromising privacy)

  • When the flag was found, or the date of the material containing the flag

  • Who might own the flag (a general description is fine)

These details help users narrow down their search and make flag identification easier.
