French Guiana Flags – Green, Yellow & Red Star Flag

The French Guiana flag: green, yellow and a red star

The French Guiana flag stocked here is split diagonally into green and yellow, with a red five-pointed star at the centre where the two colours meet. It is the flag adopted by the regional council in 2010 and widely flown alongside the French tricolour, which remains the official national flag of the territory as part of France. The green is read as the rainforest that covers almost all of the land, the yellow as its gold and other natural riches, and the red star as the people of French Guiana. Our French Guiana flag is a 5ft x 3ft with eyelets, priced at £7.99.

Carnival, Kourou and the Guianese abroad

French Guiana’s carnival is one of the longest anywhere, running from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday with Sunday parades and the masked Touloulou balls in Cayenne. The flag is also bought by space fans, because Kourou is home to the European spaceport where Ariane rockets launch, and by travellers who have visited the Îles du Salut or the Maroni river. Guianese and French families in Britain use it at carnival parties and rugby or football gatherings.

The French Guiana satin table flag is a sleeved 9x6in satin flag from £5.00, made for a desk, a reception counter or a quiz table. For the tricolour in every size, with bunting and hand flags, see France flags, and for the neighbouring republic see Suriname flags.
