update on the flag thing
Here is the flag I couldn't identify during the third stage of the Tour de France.

That shield has three red stripes and two white. In blazonry that's "gules, two pallets argent." Googling that blazon got me the Belgian village of Hollebeke, now part of the city of Ypres. The stage didn't really go near Ypres, and that's not the flag of Ypres, and I don't get anywhere when I google "Hollebeke flag," but that shield is uncontroversially the arms of Hollebeke, and I feel much better now. :-D
