The coat of arms of Bucy-le-Long is a historical coat of arms with elegant symbolism: “D’azur à la bande d’or accompagnée de trois fleurons d’or, deux rangés en chief, un en pointe.” That is to say: a blue shield with a diagonal gold band, accompanied by three gold floral motifs—two at the top and one at the bottom2. This coat of arms is derived from that of Thierry II, Knight of Bucy in the 13th century, whose grandson Simon Matifas became Bishop of Paris and enriched the family coat of arms with these fleurons as a symbol of his ecclesiastical dignity. A fine piece of heraldry that reflects the medieval roots of the village.
