Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on March 22, 1994.

The purple bend refers to the road of the Valley of the Kings. The Royal fleur-de-lys also symbolise this, but they also refer to Louis XI who built the local Sanctuary. The scallops are the symbol of St. James and refer to the fact that the road was part of a major road to Santiago de Compostela.

The reeds refer to the Sologne, the grapes to the importance of viticulture.
