Estrées is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. [3]
It is one of many villages in the north of France bearing the name Estrées. The etymology of the name is from strata ( cognate of English "street"), the word for the stone-layered Roman roads in the area (some of which turned into modern highways). Hence Estreti, village on the road which developed into Estrées.
The arms of Estrées are
blazoned : Vert, a fess ermine. ( Oignies, Beaucamps-Ligny, Estrées, Gruson and Wicres use the same arms.)
