Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on October 11, 2021.
The chief features the two leopards on a red background and the two crosses, which symbolise that the town is linked to the history of two abbeys, those of Blanchelande and Hambye, founded in the 12th century.
The purple miter symbolizes Saint-Denis, the local patron saint, the red and yellow bands recall the coat of arms of the Brucourt family. The green background symbolises the countryside, the three apples, the ears of wheat refer to agriculture and the blue wave which refers to the Vanne river and the Pont Cée stream.
