Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on November 9, 1984.
The horseshoe refers to the American horse breeder William Vanderbilt, who played a mayor role in the horse racing events in the village around 1900. The hammer and mallet refer to the former stone quarries. The wheatear refers to agriculture.
The wavy chief symbolises the Seine and the fleur-de-lys refer to the coat of arms of the royal Dominican abbey of Poissy, to which the village historically belonged. The ermine lozenge is taken from the arms of the Turgot Boisgelins family, who owned the Château Champfleury.
