Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in June 2022.

The chief with the three mushrooms comes from the arms of François Urbain de Georgias, former lord of the village. The wavy division line refers to the Aisne river.

The sword is the symbol for St. Martin of Tours, the local patron saint. The horse refers to the horse farms and horse shows in the municipality. The golden rings are taken from the arms of the Du Blois family, last lords of the village in the 18th century.

The base refers to the Mont Rouge (red hill) farm and the water mill in Missancourt.
