The flag of Wallonia represents the Walloon Region and the French Community of Belgium. Designed in 1913, the flag depicts a red rooster (known as the cok walon in Walon) on a yellow field. The rooster represents Walloon adherence to French culture as well as their Gallo-Roman origins. The red and yellow coloring is historically associated with the city of Liège. The flag's association with Wallonia also mean that it is commonly used by the Walloon Movement.
