The Musée national de la Marine (National Navy Museum) is a maritime museum located in the Palais de Chaillot, Trocadéro, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It has sites at Brest, Port-Louis, Rochefort (Musée National de la Marine de Rochefort), Toulon. The permanent collection originates in a collection that dates back to King Louis XV.

A flag of the Museum could be observed in the annex in Rochefort in 2011/2012.
The flag was blue with the logo of the Museum (photo, photo).

Another sighting in Rochefort, dated 2007: photo.
The Museum has adopted a new logo in 2019, so the flag is obsolete. There is no evidence of use of the flag elsewhere than in Rochefort, hoisted over the Sun Gate of the former arsenal. The other sites, as expected for national institutions, fly the French national flag when they fly any.

Flag of Asenal des Mers - Image by Ivan Sache, 7 May 2022
The Sun Gate flies now the flag of Rochefort, in rectangular format, or a white flag charged with the logo of "Arsenal des Mers" (photo, 2022).
"Arsenal de Mers" (Arsenal of the Seas) is the name of the site, inaugurated on 6 July 2019, which groups the National Navy Museum, the Royal Rope Factory, the docks where the "Hermione" is moored and other recreational places, which can all be acceded with a single entrance ticket [source: France Bleu, 6 July 2019 and Official website].
