The Coat of
Arms
Let us evoke the families Gonthier of Soulas and of Beaufort,
the tragedy of 1944 and the revival that arose from this tragedy,
know that:
Equally divided vertically: one side is of azure with three
pieces of silver, set in the border; with a cut shield of green
and sand, in heart stitching on the whole.
Motto: 1960 – Pressinhacum - Vicus – 1998
The sand (black) of the shield in the middle evokes mourning
that becomes less with time and succeeding generations, but its
memory remains, marked in these weapons. The green grows from
day to day, after having taken birth in the darkest days of the
history of Pressignac.
1960: The year the town was created.
Pressinhacum-Vicum: The Latin names of the two parishes.
1998: The year these coats of arms were created.
