Origin/meaning
The arms show the two villages, each on a different bank of the Saône river, shown in gold. The villages are on the border of the Franche-Comté and the Champagne regions, hence the gate from one to the other, which is symbolised by the two keys. The trefoil-shape of the keys refers to the agricultural character of the area.
The black lion symbolises Aisey and is derived from the arms of the Husson de Sampigny family, Lords of Aisey in the 18th and 19th century. The silver lion symbolises Richecourt and is derived from the arms of Foulques de Rigney, who lived in the 18th century in the local castle.
