Presentation of the city

Rezé is a city of c. 35,000 inhabitants located in the southern outskirts of Nantes.

In 1959, the French architect of Swiss origin Le Corbusier (1687-1965) built in Rezé a "residence unit".

Description of the flag

The presence on the flag of a vessel with sails charged with ermine spots, very similar to the one shown on the flag of Nantes, is probably not a coincidence.
