About the flag
It officially flies two flags side by side: the French tricolour and the Kanak flag, whose yellow disc holds a black flèche faîtière, the carved spire that tops a traditional Kanak house.
How to spot it: The Kanak flag has blue, red and green horizontal stripes with a yellow disc edged in black holding a black rooftop spire emblem.
