Armorial of France

This gallery of French coats of arms shows the coats of arms of the Provinces, Régions, and Départements of France, and of certain French cities. They are used to visually identify historical and present-day regions, as well as cities, within France.

National

The coat of arms of the French Republic are not the subject of any law. Article 2 of the Constitution of France states that the only official emblem of the country is the tricolor flag. However, diplomatic emblems are used. A first version was created in 1905 and later used to represent France at the United Nations, but is now outdated. A second version, featuring an uncommon pelta shield and oak leaves, is today widely used by the Presidency of the Republic and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1][2]
