The motto of Reims is "Dieu en soit garde" (May God protect it). This motto appears on the city's coat of arms, which dates back to the 15th century and consists of a laurel wreath, a lily motif and a crown in the shape of a city wall. The meaning of this motto is generally interpreted as a prayer or a wish for divine protection of the city.

Origin of the motto:
The origin of this motto is often attributed to Louis the Pious (Louis le Débonnaire) at his coronation in Reims in the year 816. According to Reims Tourisme, he is said to have spoken these words to implore divine protection against Viking raids, at a time when the city walls were being demolished to reuse stones.

Meaning:
"Dieu en soit garde" literally means: May God protect it. It is an expression of faith and a call for divine protection, often used in religious or historical contexts.

Coat of arms of Reims:
The motto "Dieu en soit garde" is an important part of the city coat of arms of Reims. This coat of arms also contains a laurel wreath, a lily motif and a crown in the shape of a fortress wall. These elements symbolize the history, prestige and resilience of the city.
