The arms show the arms of Lorraine, as the village was a direct possession of the Dukes of Lorraine, ruled locally by a bailiffs. The left half shows a demi-eagle taken from the arms of the Valcourt-Freistroff family, who acted as bailiff for the dukes. The rocks are the symbol of St. Étienne (Stephen), the local patron saint.
