Flag of the former General Council of Bouches-du-Rhône - Images by Ivan Sache, 25 September 2009

The General Council of Bouches-du-Rhône used, mostly, two flags, both white with the logo of the General Council but differing by their proportions and rendition of the logo.
The rectangular flag shows the square logo flanked on its right by the writing "CONSEIL / GENERAL / BOUCHES-DU-RHÔNE" in black letters. The square flag shows the square logo surmounting the writing "CONSEIL GENERAL" in black letters.

The logo of the General Council of Bouches-du-Rhône is made of a yellow disk charged with a blue "13", the official number of the department, and placed on a blue square, in front of a ribbon horizontally divided light blue-white-red.
The specific style of the "13" is probably to give the impression of a "B", the first letter of the name.
