Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted on September 28, 2001.

The wavy line symbolizes the Grand Morin river.

The hand is a seventeenth century watermark called "the blessing hand", probably used at that time in paper mills in the valley of the Grand Morin. The cross symbolises the suzerainty of the Royal Abbey of Our Lady and St. Peter Faremoutiers.

The scallops are taken from the arms of the Bonneval family.
