Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of France - Armorial de France |
INDRE-ET-LOIRE
Origin/meaning :
The arms are identical to the arms of the former French province of Touraine until 1793. The main field with the fleur-de-lis is derived from the French Royal arms. The bordure is derived from the arms of the Basilica of St. Martin in Tours, the capital of Touraine.
