Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 2000.

The lion is taken from the arms of the Goyon de la Roche Goyon family, former lords of the village in the 13th century. The special bend refers to the FLIN Frères company in the village, which is making escalators and which is the largest employer in the village. The ermine refers to Brittany and the tree is the local Araucaria tree in front of the town hall.
