Depicted beautiftul stone-carved CoA of French capital Paris you can find on the terrace wall in Rue Azaïs close to the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur.

The coat of arms of the city of Paris, in its current form, dates back to 1111, when King Charles I officially installed it. On the coat of arms, the represented vessel is the symbol of the powerful corporate body of the Marchands de l'eau, dating back to the Middle Ages. The city motto, "Fluctuat nec mergitur" ("She is tossed by the waves, but does not sink") is equally a reference to this boat.
