Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of France - Armorial de France |
CHAINGY
Département : Loiret
Official blason
De gueules au sautoir cousu d’azur chargé de cinq étoiles d’or.
Origin/meaning
The arms are those of the Micy Abbey, which played a major role in the local history.
The municipality uses, however, a more elaborate non heraldic emblem :
In this emblem the arms are placed on agricultural land and the Loire river. In the base a vine and a cogwheel for agriculture and industry.
