Country : France  Département : Meuse  |
| French | Parti: au 1er d'or à la bande de gueules chargée de trois alérions d'argent, au 2e d'azur à trois croisettes pommetées au pied fiché d'argent; le tout sommé d'un chef de sinople chargé d'un canon de 155, modèle 1877, d'argent. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms indicate that the area is part of the Lorraine region (bend with alerions) and historically was ruled by the Bishops of Verdun (crosses).
The chif shows a gun, model Bange 1877, caliber 155, which was used in 1915 during the battle of Éparges. It was found in the ground around 1980, restored and classified as a Historic Monument in 1993, it is placed in front of the town hall and thus a landmark of the village.
