Official blazon

D'azur à deux crosses d'abbé d'or passées en sautoir, accompagnées en flancs et en pointe de trois épis de blé du même et en chef d'une colombe d'argent en vol.

Origin/meaning

The pigeon in the chief is the symbol of St. Remigius, the local patron saint. The crossed crosiers refer to the Abbey of Saint-Martin, which for a long time owned the village. The wheat-ears refer to the agricultural character of the village.
