Origin/meaning

The local council applied in 1996 for the above arms, showing a blue ewe. The ewe was derived from a part of the famous tapestry from the chapel of Souverain-Moulin. The tapestry is an important tourist spot in the municipality. At the same time the ewe is a reference to the arms of the Lubersac family, who played a mayor role in the local history.
