The flag of Saint Martin, representing the French side of the island, exhibits a tricolor of blue, white, and red, mirroring the national flag of France. These colors symbolize liberty, equality, and fraternity, which are core values of the French Republic. The flag’s central feature is the coat of arms, set against a white background, emphasizing peace and purity. The coat of arms includes a shield adorned with the fleur-de-lis, reflecting French heritage, and a pelican, symbolizing self-sacrifice and the natural wildlife of the island.
