VAUGNERAY

Département : Rhône

Official blazon

(fr) D'azur au chevron d'or accompagné en chef à dextre d'une tête de griffon contournée du même et à senestre d'une tête de lion d'argent, et en pointe de la lettre capitale V d'or; au chef d'azur chargé de trois étoiles d'or et soutenu du même.

Origin/meaning

The arms were designed in 1888 and adopted in 1889.

They are based on the arms of the Valentin family, Lords of Vaugneray from the fifteen^th century, and the griffin and lion of the church of Lyon, to which the parish of Vaugneray belonged until 1789. The V is the town's initial.
