Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1928.
The three geese are a canting symbol for the nickname of the villagers at the time, Les Canz (Gans is German for goose). The colours are those of the Diocese of Lausanne and the town of Payerne, as the village historically was owned or ruled by these entities.
