Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on November 24, 2022.
The bold rooster symbolizes the fierce battles of the French army in 1916-17 to contain the thrust of the German attacks on the Mort Homme ridge where a monument immortalizes the battle. The water bottle represents the Lemoële fountain, the only water supply point for the fighters.
The three bezants symbolize the legend of Saint Nicolas, to whom the church is dedicated. The churn refers to the regional cooperative dairy for twenty-six municipalities which operated in Chattancourt at the end of the 19th century.
The gold, azure and gules are taken from the arms of Gilles de Trêve (1515-1582, founder of the Gilles de Trêve college in Bar-le-Duc) who, under the high lordship of the bishop of Verdun, was local lord of Chattancourt and used as arms: "Or a triangle gules accompanied by three crescents azure".
The ears of wheat represent the importance of agriculture.
