are the Arms of the Casimir-Perier family, and thus also of President Casimir-Perier. Does anyone know anything about these Arms? Were they granted or assumed pre-revolution or later?
I suspect that they were granted to his great grandfather Claude, who was a prominent banker and one of the founders of the Banque de France.
