'''BOUCHES-DU-RHÔNE'''

[[File:boucherh.gif|center|Arms (crest) of {{PAGENAME}}]]

====Official blazon====

===Origin/meaning===
The arms are based on the old arms of the [[Provence]], the area to which the province historically belonged. The arms of the Provence show a label and a fleur-de-lis in a blue field. The present arms are canting, and show the mouth of the Rhône river (Bouches du Rhône).
