Département : Côte-d'Or

Blason de Manlay
Official blazon
French Coupé émanché flamboyant d'or et de gueules de sept pièces; au chef de gueules chargé de trois besants d'or.
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on June 30, 1979.

The three flames refer to St. Lawrence, the local patron saint, who was grilled alive in Roman Times. They also refer to the fire in the village in 1944.

The chief is taken from the arms of the Voudenay family, former lords of the village.
