Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on April 5, 2001.
The lion is taken from the arms of the Maquises de Vipar, former lords of the village.
The bleeding eye is the symbol of St. Leodegarius (Léger), who was martyred by putting a drill in his eyes. The base shows the arms of the Lords of Silly, which also ruled the village for a period of time.
