The flag of La Chapelle-des-Fougeretz (photo, photo, photo, photo) is white with the municipal logo.
The logo features the steeple of the parish church dedicated to St. Joseph. Erected in 1902 by architect Arthur Regnault in neo-Romanesque style, the church reused some sculpted elements from the former parish church.
[Inventaire du patrimoine culturel en Bretagne]
Arthur Regnault (1839-1932) designed or contributed to the design of 71 parish churches, two chapels and one collegiate churches in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine. The architect presented himself as a church builder, although he designed during his long career (1865-1929) a dozen of manors and restored another dozen of them, as well as private houses and manors, mostly in the town of Rennes, and dozens of Roman Catholic schools. He also set up hundreds of decorative fireplaces in private houses. Regnault designed another four churches in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for the Eudists.
