Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 2018.

he two intersecting axes refer to the importance of forestry. The two hammers and the anvil refer to the local forges, and metal and iron working has been done here for the last 25 centuries.

The wolf is one of the two symbols of Saint Blaise the patron saint of the parish of La Chapelle du Bard. The white and red bands are those of the Barral family, lords of the region in the 18th century and also masters of forges.
