VILLERS-SUR-MEUSE
Département : Meuse
French | D'azur à l'écusson en abîme d'argent, chargé d'un dragon de sinople allumé d'or et lampassé de gueules; l'écusson accompagné en chef d'une tournelle de quatre pièces d'or et en pointe d'une roue de moulin du même et accosté deux clous de la passion d'argent. |
English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on September 30, 2022.
The mill wheel refers to the Meuse river and the activities linked to the river, such as mills, fish trade, sawmills and a tannery.
The turret in chief incorporates the defensive elements of the fortified house which once controlled access to the ford and the bridge to Génicourt.
The two nails are those of the arms of the Diocese of Verdun. Until 1792 the village was under the high lordship of the bishop of Verdun.
The dragon alludes to Saint Vanne, patron saint of the local church.
The branches are those of the lime trees framing the chapel of Sainte-Reine, erected by Clovis Durand lord of Villers in 1682. The lime trees were planted to commemorate the conversion of Henri IV.
