Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in November 2023.

The arms reflect the two villages that merged in 1963.

The eagle and the tree are taken from the arms of the Saint-Thierry abbey in Reims, suzerain of Mons-en-Chaussée before the Revolution. The eagle has been contoured so that it extends towards the middle of the shield.

No arms is known for the Notre Dame de Ham abbey (which held the lordship of Estrées-en-Chaussée), other than a figure on a 14th century seal which shows a Virgin and Child. This abbey was thus symbolized by an abbot's crozier (shortened) topped with a garden lily flower, symbol of the Mary. Azure and silver are the colors of Mary as well.

The central diminished pale symbolizes the Roman road which (still) connects the two villages.
