The city of Port-Louis has its own flag, flown with the
national flag on the portal of the city hall
(Port-Louis flag on the left, Mauritius flag on the right). Both had
the same proportions, but it did’nt look like they were 2:3, as the
national flag should be. I would rather say 3:5. The flag of Port-Louis
is a banner of arms, bearing four anchors and five fleur-de-lys.

The flag of Port-Louis is a kind of canting flag is we “read”
the anchors as "port" and the yellow fleur-de-lys on blue as
"king of France", i.e.
"Louis".
(It seems that Port-Louis should be written Port Louis in English.)

In Port-Louis, the most frequently seen flag, except the
national one, is the flag of theWaterfront zone:
blue with "Port-Louis waterfront" logo. Situated on the south side of
the harbour Place d’Armes, the Waterfront (Le Caudan
Waterfront) is a recent hotel, leisure and shopping complex.
