FONTAINEBLEAU
Département : Seine-et-Marne
| French |
Coupé: au 1er d'or à l'aigle impériale de sable; au 2e d'argent à la salamandre sur sa patience de gueules; à la fasce d'azur chargée d'une jumelle ondée d'argent brochant sur le coupé; au franc canton d'azur à la lettre capitale N d'or surmontée d'une étoile rayonnante du même. |

Origin/meaning
The symbolic is clear from French history: the salamander was Francois I's badge, he built the castle. It was one of Napoleon's favorite residences, whence the canton with the letter N (reserved for 2nd class Imperial cities) and the eagle. The river on the fess alludes to the name of the town, which means beautiful spring.
