The flag

The flag of Varennes is shown on a photograph available on the municipal website, hoisted in the Mayor's room.

Although the municipality has a coat of arms, the flag is white with the municipal logotype. The description of the logotype is the following (my translation):

Symbol

• Shape: an isosceles triangle for stability and the "V" of Varennes for opening up to the future;
• Elements: the curved points represent on one side water and on the other side the rural territory of Varennes; they cross to form a bird, a symbol of humanity; the repetition of the points represents the dynamism and energy of the town of Varennes.

Colours

• Blue for confidence and the omnipresent river;
• Ochre for the richness of the heritage and the wide rural territory of Varennes.

Font

• The serifed Calson font is in harmonywith the curve-shaped and point- ending elements of the symbol.
