The flag shown above was photographed a couple of years ago outside the city hall at Chalonnes-sur-Loire (France). It seems to be no longer present there.

The parcel service company Montigny Services flies at least two copies of another "patchwork" European flag over their headquarters, located in La Forêt-sur-Sèvre (Poitou).

The composition of the patchwork is the following:

European Union

Portugal

Germany

France

Belgium

The Netherlands

Finland

Spain

Luxembourg

Sweden

Austria

Ireland

Denmark

Italy

Greece

United Kingdom

This patchwork is more "European" than the first one, which shows Switzerland instead of Finland. Moreover, it has a white border all around.
