FRANCEVILLE

Province : Haut-Ogooué

Arms (crest) of Franceville

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The border is canting since it shows the French national colours. The Portuguese explorer Savorgnan De Brazza assembled a fleet here before he set off to explore the great Congo River, that event is recalled by the flag from his arms and the anchor. The black colour symbolises Africa.
