Premium Quebec City Flag

Description

Proudly display your connection to the only fortified city north of Mexico, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the cradle of French civilization in North America, with our Premium Quebec City Flag. This flag features the official civic flag of Ville de Québec, a timeless and elegant symbol that beautifully encapsulates the city’s rich history, its maritime significance, and its enduring French heritage.

The design of the Quebec City flag is rich with historical and maritime meaning:

The flag features a striking blue field and gold stylized sailing ship prominently placed in the centre of a silver crenellated border.¹

• The blue field evokes the vastness of the St. Laurence River and the Atlantic Ocean, and the enduring French heritage.
• The silver crenellated border recalls Quebec City’s fortifications.
• The gold stylized sailing ship is the central and most distinctive feature. This vessel is widely recognized as a representation of “Le Don de Dieu” (The Gift of God), the ship that brought Samuel de Champlain to the site of Quebec City in 1608, establishing the permanent settlement. It also broadly symbolizes Jacques Cartier’s “La Grande Hermine” and the era of French exploration that founded the city. This powerful emblem signifies Quebec City’s crucial role as a major port, a gateway to the continent, and its deep maritime history on the Saint Lawrence River.

This harmonious blend of a classic colour scheme and a historically resonant symbol creates a flag that vividly articulates Quebec City’s unique status as a historical treasure, its strategic importance as a port, and its proud legacy as the heart of French North America. The current flag, a simplified and striking adaptation of the city’s coat of arms, was officially adopted in 1987.

Our Premium Quebec City Flags are made from high-quality, durable premium nylon, specifically chosen for its superior ability to withstand diverse weather conditions, from the strong winds off the Saint Lawrence to its legendary snowy winters and vibrant summers. Nylon is known for its excellent durability, vibrant color retention, and quick-drying properties, making it an ideal choice for outdoor flags. Each flag is professionally constructed with quadruple-stitched fly ends to prevent fraying, even in the gustiest conditions. The sturdy canvas header and two rust-resistant brass grommets provide exceptional strength and make for effortless and secure hanging, ensuring your flag remains proudly displayed. This material and construction ensure the crisp white field and the bold blue ship remain true and don’t fade, even with prolonged sun and weather exposure.
