SAINT-HILAIRE (HAUTE-GARONNE)
Département : Haute-Garonne
Official blazon
Parti: au 1er d'or à deux crosses de gueules affrontées et passées en sautoir, au 2e de gueules à la croisette vidée, cléchée et pommetée de douze pièces d'or en chef et à quatre otelles d'argent adossées en sautoir en pointe; au pal d'argent, chargé d'une vergette ondée d'azur, brochant sur la partition.
Origin/meaning
The two crosiers symbolise the patron saint (St. Hilaire) and the Oraison Dieu Abbey, a Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century, to which the village (partly) belonged. The silver pale represents the old Roman road in the municipality, the blue pale is the Louge river. The left half shows the cross of the Languedoc/Occitaine region in the upper part and the arms of the Comminges area in the lower half.
