FLÉVILLE
Département : Ardennes
| French | Vairé d'azur et d'argent à l'écusson d'or chargé d'une bermudienne des montagnes (Sisyrinchium montanum) de pourpre, tigée et feuillée de sinople, boutonnée d'or. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted in 2003.
The field of vair is derived from arms seen in the Fléville Castle, which is now destroyed. A similar field was adopted by the 16th Infantry Regiment of the US Army after the First World War, when they were in Fléville.
The inescutcheon shows a sprig of American blue-eyed-grass, which was imported into the region in 1917/1918 by the fodder of the horses of the 16th Infantry Regiment.
