Parti: au 1er de gueules à la hache d'or, au 2e d'or à la clef contournée de gueules.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 3, 1970.

The axe (Hache) is a canting element. The key is the symbol of the Corbie Abbey, to which the village was donated in 662 and which ruled the village for many centuries.
