DOUVAINE

Département : Haute-Savoie

Blason de Douvaine

Official blason

D'or à la tête de loup de gueules soutenue d'ondes d'argent mouvant de la pointe; chaussé d'azur chargé à dextre d'une grappe de raisin d'or et à senestre d'une gerbe de blé du même.

Origin/meaning

The wolf's head is the symbol for St. Loup, the local patron saint (loup=wolf). The grape and garb refer to the (famous) local wines and the agricultural character of the municipality. The wavy base is Lake Geneva (Lac Léman).
