Département : Pas-de-Calais
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on March 26, 1987.
The complete arms are surrounded by maple leaves and the chain of the War Cross 1914-1918.
The shield itself is derived from the arms of the Lords of Givenchy, known from the Middle Ages. The branches represent the forests around the village, and the maple was chosen as it is the National symbol of Canada. In the village is a large Canadian war memorial.
