Département : Seine-Maritime

Official blazon

(fr) De gueules à l'épée haute d'argent; chapé du même, chargé d'un lion à dextre et d'un alérion à senestre, le tout de gueules; au chef d'azur chargé d'un goéland au naturel.

Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted on November 29, 1997.

The sea gull refers to the fact that the municipality is on the Atlantic coast. The sword in the point is a reference to St.Martin of Tours, cutting his cloak for a beggar. The lion and alerion are taken from the arms of former lords of the village, the lion from the De Calletot family, the alerion from the Counts of Montmorency.
