RÉMIRE-MONTJOLY

Département : French Guyana

Blason de Rémire-Montjoly

Official blazon

  • (fr) D'or à la canne à sucre coupée de sinople, chargée d'un oeil du champ à l'iris de tenné brochant en chef, adextrée d'une tête de tapir mouvant de la plante et senestrée d'une tortue luth posée en barre, le tout du même et soutenue de l'inscription en lettres capitales de sable « REMIRE MONTJOLY » sur deux rangs; à la filière de sinople.

Origin/meaning

The arms show a bush of sugarcane, the main crop in the area. It was also the first place that sugar was produced in what is now French Guyana (by Dutch Jews). The turtle and tapir refer to the wildlife (jungle and beaches respectively). The eye is taken from the arms of the Lords of Beauregard.
