VAUX-DEVANT-DAMLOUP
Département : Meuse
Official blason
- (fr) De gueules au hanneton d'or à la tête de sable, surmonté à dextre d'un fer à cheval et à senestre d'une coquille, les deux d'or, et soutenu d'une rivière d’argent; chaussé abaissé à mi-hauteur de sinople.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on June 26, 2018.
The horseshoe symbolizes St. Philip (of philo and hippo: friend of the horses) and the shell refers to St.James, patron saints of the church of the former village (the village was nearly totally destroyed in 1914-1918).
The beetle is taken as it is the nickname of the villages, écalots (the word means beetle in the local dialect).
The base shows the valley of the Vaux river.
