L'ÎLE-D'OLONNE
Département : Vendée
Official blason
- (fr) Coupé: au 1er d'azur à la barque de sinople habillée de gueules, accompagnée en chef de deux mulons [tas de sel] d'argent, au 2e d'azur au marais salant, en perspective, formé de sept vettes [barrures, traverses] d'argent, trois en fasces mouvant des flancs et quatre mouvant de la pointe jusqu'au trait de partition, délimitant des oeillets [bassins d'évaporation] du champ.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on March 28, 1963.
The base of the arms show the salt pans. On the island there is a long tradition of making salt from sea water, by evaporating the water in large square pans. The triangle in the chief show the piles of salt. The boat indicates the importance of shipping for the island.
