Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on December 7, 2015.

The cross in chief is taken from the arms of the Midi-Pyrénées region. The two crosses are taken from the arms of the Ricard de Ginouillac family, former lords of the village. The oak leaf is taken as it is a common decoration on the local castle.
