===Official blazon===
Parti: au 1er mi-parti de gueules à la fleur de lis d'argent florencée de deux palmes de sinople, au 2e d'or à la bande de sable chargée de trois tours d'argent ouvertes de sable posées dans le sens de la bande.

===Origin/meaning===
The silver fleur-de-lys is taken from the arms of the Saint Vincent Abbey in Metz, as the abbey had large influence in the area and owned the local Saint-Baudier parish. The bend with the three towers is taken from the arms of the de Vy family, who owned the villages of La Maxe and Thury in the 15<sup>th</sup> century.
