Lézignan-Corbières

Blazon

I: " Three flower of gold lily on field of azur" (of France) II: " Of azure, with a money rafter, accompanied by three gold birds in their nest of sand, posed two as a chief and faced and one points some and a bent chief of mouths, charged with a money crescent between two stars of or"

Like so much of other communes of Lézignanais, these armorial bearings do not have any root in the history. The municipality of the beginning of the XXe century, finding the armorial bearings of the " city; too much royalistes" , adopted those found in Sérame. They correspond to the blazon of Antoine de Niquet; lord of the place. Without no reason, one frames it ornament outsides which do not have any significance for the city (palmettes, vine branches, crown)
