Flag of the General Council

As seen on a photo taken by Pascal Vagnat in January 2006 in Bar-le- Duc, the flag of the General Council of Meuse is horizontally divided white-blue-green-white, the three bottom stripes being of equal height. The top stripe is charged with the stylized silhouettes of a church and a river, the blue stripe is charged with "Conseil Général" in white letters, and the green stripe is charged with "de la Meuse" in white letters.
