Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on September 27, 2021.
The division line symbolises the former fortified house in the village, used as a refuge for the villagers.
The blue, silver and lily are symbols of St. Mary, patron saint of the local church destroyed in 1914/18 and rebuilt in 1931. The crosier refers to the abbey of Saint-Paul de Verdun, to which the village historically belonged.
The two stars are those of the general Margueritte born in Manheulles on January 23, 1823. The wolf signifies a traditional saying of Manheulles: "A MEHÛLE, LE LAW Y HÛLE" (in Manheulles, the wolf howls there).
The two lotus flowers illustrate the expeditions of Augustin Desgodins, born in 1826 in Manheulles (+1913), missionary, responsible for opening a way to reach Tibet via India. The branches are those of oaks symbolising the trees of the large surrounding forests.
