Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on June 15, 1961.
The arms show a canting wood brace (a tool to drill holes, in French vilebrequin), even though the word is not that similar and the town name has a completely different origin. The arms appear for the first time in the Armorial Général by Hozier in 1694. As it is known that several arms were made up by Hozier at the time, especially canting (family) arms, it may be that he devised the arms. Older sources are not known, so it is impossible to indicate when the arms were first used.
