Bandé d'or et de gueules de sept pièces.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 25, 1952.

The arms are derived from the arms of the Philoméla family. The first time a member of the family was mentioned in relation to Rossignol was in 1271. The family owned the estate until the 16^th century. The arms of the family were first shown in a roll of arms from 1477. In 1951 the local council applied for the old arms to be used as arms of the municipality.
