Renouveau Français (RF) is a French ultranationalist organization, founded in 2005. The RF claims to be "French nationalist and counter-revolutionary", and of "Roman Catholic inspiration". The RF is mostly known through its street stickers calling for the "return of the nationalists", "the nationalist fight", "the reconquest of the country" and "France to the French".

The flag of Renouveau Français is blue with the white emblem of the movement in the middle (photo). It is used in the nationalist
demonstrations scheduled every year in May (later than, and not to be
confused with, the Joan of Arc's parade organized by the Front
National on 1 May).
The movement also uses a "procession banner", made of a vertical,
forked version of the flag.
The emblem of RF is a stylized fleur-de-lis, "the best symbol of the
French tradition and the emblem of the nation since the earliest
ages". Its stylized version, easy to draw, represents the counter-
revolutionary nationalism. Its harmonious proportions are based on the
Golden Number. The members of the RF are awarded a golden badge
representing the symbol, while everybody can purchase a white version
of the badge.
The RF also uses a sword and a "Celtic cross" as its emblems, but
seemingly not on flags.

Flag used by Renouveau Français - Image by Tomislav Todorović, 19 March 2013
RF also uses a white flag semy of golden fleurs-de-lis and the
Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus over all, as can be seen in several photos. The arrangement of charges is not very symmetrical, which suggests that the flag/flags shown is/are probably hand-made.
The Traditionalist Catholic flag with the plain white field is also used by RF, as shown by a number of photos at their website, and in a video at the Île-de-France section website.
The RF also used the French tricolore defaced with the symbol of
the Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus.

Flag of the Finistère section of Renouveau Français - Image by Tomislav Todorović, 4 March 2012
The Finistère section of RF also has a flag of its own (image, photos), white with a black cross cantonned with two black RF-style fleurs-de-lis and two images of the Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus.
