Origin/meaning
The river is the Serein that runs through the town; it was bridged and regulated by the Cistercian monks who lived at the abbey, founded in 1114. The brigde, pont, is canting.
The tree shows a bird's nest, a nid in French. In French nid and gny are pronounced the same way, the nest is thus canting for the second part of the name.The two fleur-de-lis are taken from the former French Royal arms.
