Blason de Bains-les-Bains/Arms (crest) of Bains-les-Bains
Official blazon
French D'azur à la fontaine d'or jaillissante et rayonnante d'argent, accompagnée en chef d'un B d'or clouté d'argent, de cinq pièces à dextre et d'une abeille d'or à senestre.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on June 24, 1929.

The arms show a fountain, as the village is a well-known spa and resort. The letter B is the town's initial, and has several nail heads on it. These refer to a local villager, Charles Levy, who invented a machine to produce nails in the middle of the 19th century,

The bee symbolises the former embroidery industry, as around 1850 nearly 200 people worked from home on embroidery.
