A banner of the traditional arms of Touraine was sometimes observed
locally. It is now currently
in use officially as the flag of the departmental council : photo (jan. 2025), photo (sept. 2025), photo (nov. 2025).
You can see it too in use together with a logo flag of the
departmental council, in the commune of Joué-lès-Tours: photo (july 2025).
This version of the logo had been adopted in 2019 (the previous one had
a different font and the words in gray).
Nota: The logo was modified in 2025
and the current version can only be used in monochrome - black, white,
or blue.
