Blason de Biache-Saint-Vaast/Arms (crest) of Biache-Saint-Vaast
Official blazon
French blazon wanted
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The red background symbolised the political colour of the city (as it was communist for a long time), the wheel symbolised the industries in the town and the water lily the many ponds in Biache. Lately the new mayor has stopped the use of the arms, as he is not a communist and the red colour was not acceptable for him..
