Sémeries is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.

Sémeries sits in the valley of the Helpe in the Avesnois Regional Park in an area called the little Switzerland of the North.

History[]

The rights of the village were given in 1095 by Thierry d'Avesnes to Abbey Liessies who retained it until the French Revolution.

	The arms of Sémeries are blazoned : Argent, a boar's head erased sable, armed argent langued gules. (Liessies, Sains-du-Nord and Sémeries use the same arms.)
