LIMAY

Département : Yvelines

Official blazon

(fr) D'azur au pont de trois arches d'argent, maçonné de sable, les culées posées sur une onde de sinople mouvant de la pointe, surmonté de trois fleurs de lis d'or, ordonnées 2 et 1.

Origin/meaning

The arms show the historical bridge in the village, and in chief the three fleur-de-lys of the Île-de-France region.

The wolf supporters are derived from an old nickname of the villagers. The cross and letter S refer to the former monastery in the village, founded in 1375.
