LA CROIX-AUX-MINES
Département : Vosges
Official blason
- (fr) Coupé: au 1er d'or à la bande de gueules chargée de trois alérions d'argent, au 2e d'argent à deux pics de mineur de sable passés en sautoir.
Origin/meaning
As its name suggests, the town was famous for its mines, hence the miner's axes. Known from the 12th century, the local silver mines experienced great activity in the 16th century. As they were the property of the Dukes of Lorraine, the chief shows the ducal arms of Lorraine.
