The flag features the cross of Toulouse on a red background.

The first flag of the Regional Council was a European Union-like flag: blue with eight stars (representing the eight departments in the region) and a little red cross of Toulouse in upper canton. That flag was in use during the 1986-1992 mandate of the Regional Council.
François-Jean Blanc, 14 April 1998
