PONT-À-MOUSSON
Département : Meurthe-et-Moselle
French | De gueules au pont de trois arches d'argent flanqué de deux tours couvertes de même, le tout posé sur des ondes de sinople mouvant de la pointe, surmonté d'un écusson d'azur semé de croisettes recroisetées au pied fiché d'or chargé de deux bars adossés du même et d'une bordure d'or.
Origin/meaningThe two towers and the bridge (Pont) are canting. The arms already appear on the seal of the local council from the 15th century. The small shield in the top is the arms of the Counts of Bar, who ruled the whole area at the time.
