CAILLOUX-SUR-FONTAINES

Département : Métropole de Lyon (until 2015 Rhône)

Blason de Cailloux-sur-Fontaines

Official blason

Écartelé : au 1er d'or au rocher isolé de trois cailloux de sable, au 2e de sinople à la gerbe de blé d'or, au 3e de sinople à la roue de moulin d'argent posée en perspective, au 4e d'or à trois fasces ondées d'azur ; sur le tout, de gueules à la croix d'argent.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on February 5, 1986.

The first quarter shows some canting rocks (cailloux), the second quarter refers to the agricultural character of the municipality. The third refers to the Vallée des Prolières or Vallée des Meuniers (valley of millers). The fourth symbolises the many small rivers in the area and the inescutcheon shows the arms of Savoy, to which the area historically belonged.
