Les Champs-Géraux (1,042 inhabitants in 2020; 1,909 ha) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in northwestern France, 7 km of Dinan.
The arms are blazoned: Gules three wolf's heads erased Or, two on chief, one on base ; on a fess argent three martlets sable. These were the arms of the Nicollas / Nicolas family.
In 1637, Jeanne Martin, Dame of Le Plessis and Les Champs-Géraux, married Jean Nicollas and initiated the rebuilding of the manor of La Gravelle, already mentioned in 1551. Anne Renée Sophie Nicollas, born in 1704 from Germain Nicollas, knight and lord of Les Clayes and Les Champs Géraux and President at the Parliament of Brittany, married around 1725 Pierre Georges de Vaucouleurs de Lonjamet, Commander of the Grenadier of France. After the French Revolution, the manor was reconverted in a farm of c. 35 hectares. (source:
