In 1811 Napoleon granted arms with a castle and the three bees of a city of the first class in chief. The fleur-de-lys were considered a royal symbol and thus had to be replaced. Why a castle was chosen is not known. | In 1811 Napoleon granted arms with a castle and the three bees of a city of the first class in chief.

In 1816 the city returned to the historical arms. In 1830 the city adopted again the arms with the tower, but without the bees. During the reign of Napoleon III the bees were shortly reinstated. | In 1816 the city returned to the historical arms. In 1830 the city adopted again the arms with the tower, but without the bees.
