Origin/meaning

The arms show a cross and a crosier for the local patron saint, Saint-Léger. The three poplars and the tree are coanting (bois =forest) as well as a symbol for the estates of Piple (poplars) and Grosbois. The fleur-de-lys are a royal symbol and indicate that the village was a royal possession. The bees are taken from the arms of Marshall Berthier, Prince of Wagram, and owner of the village for some time.
