Origin/meaning
The arms show the lion and the billets of the Franche-Comté region. The cogwheel represents the local heavy industry, especially the Peugeot car factories. The letter S is the town's initial.
The hops surrounding the field indicate the importance of brewing in the town. The medal is the 1939-45 War Cross.
