## Europavillon

The French flag manufacturer Doublet offers for sale two versions of the Europavillon ("Euroflag"), made of the European Union flag charged with the flags of the members' states surrounding the ring of stars.

Model "A", used for instance in Wimereux (north of France), has the stars surrounded by concentric ring of national flags:
- first circle around the stars, clockwise from top: Greece, Belgium, Estonia, Malta, The Netherlands, Slovakia, Ireland, Sweden, Luxembourg, Lituania, Spain (plain), France;
- second circle around the stars; left, from top to bottom: Austria, Czech Republic, Portugal, Slovenia, Hungary; right, from top to bottom: Denmark, Finland, Latvia, United Kingdom, Italy;
- third circle (partial) around the stars; left, from top to bottom: Germany, Cyprus, Poland.

Model "B" has the national flags placed in a rectangular pattern along the borders of the flag:
- upper border, from left to right: Germany, Austria, Estonia, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, Denmark;
- right border, from top to bottom: Greece, Lituania, Latvia, Portugal, Finland;
- lower border, from right to left: Sweden, Slovakia, Poland, France, Slovenia, United Kingdom, Italy, The Netherlands;
- left border, from bottom to top: Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Belgium, Hungary, Spain (plain).

The notice claims "The 27 countries of Europe on a single flag", but the flags of Bulgaria and Romania are not shown on the flag yet - or the images provided are outdated.

The Model "B" can still be seen, with the current 27 member flags arranged this way:

- upper border, from left to right: Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland, Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Denmark;
- right border, from top to bottom: Greece, Lituania, Latvia, Portugal, Finland;
- lower border, from right to left: Sweden, Croatia, Slovakia, Poland, France, Slovenia, European Union, Italy, The Netherlands;
- left border, from bottom to top: Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Belgium, Hungary, Spain (plain).

So…the European Union is a member of the European Union? It is indeed a rather interesting case of inception, a flag on a flag which is the same flag...

I expect most of the design stems from before BrExit, and adding an EU flag would have been the cheapest solution. The alternative would have been to realign the six flags of the lower edge proper, which for one thing would have restarted any flag width discussions they must have had the first time.
