Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on June 5, 2015.

The arms show the valley in which the municipality is situated, between the green forests. The two besants refer to the former taxes to be paid to the Lords of Malpas, but also to the two villages of le Petit Malpas and le Grand Malpas that form the municipality.
