Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted in 2022.
The semaphore in the first quarter symbolises Claude Chappe (1763-1805), who in 1792 demonstrated a practical semaphore system that eventually spanned all of France. He was a priest in the village. The wavy bar symbolises the Méances river in the village. Saint Martin of Tours is the local patron saint. The garb symbolises the agricultural character of the village and the colour red the blood of some hostages being killed in the village in 1944.
