The commune of Mêle-sur-Sarthe, located in the Orne department of Normandy, France, has officially adopted a new municipal flag. The change was formalized by a recent municipal council decision, as is standard for such local heraldic updates.
The new flag replaces the town's previous banner. While specific design details and the exact date of the council's vote are not widely published in national news archives, the adoption of new civic symbols is a recognized process for French communes seeking to refresh their visual identity.
Municipal flags in France serve as symbols of local heritage and identity. The decision to adopt a new flag typically follows local discussions and is intended to represent the commune's history and values for official and ceremonial use.
There is no indication that this change is connected to any broader political or administrative shifts. It appears to be a routine update of civic imagery for the town of approximately 700 residents.
