De gueules au mont d'argent chargé d'un pique de sable, posé sur une rivière d'azur mouvant de la pointe; au chef d'argent chargé de la sainte Ampoule d'azur, accostée de deux mûres de sable tigées et feuillées de sinople.

Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in June 1994.

The arms show a mountain symbolising the rolling hills and stony soils of the area. The red colour is the colour of the Brie region. the figure on the mountain is taken from the arms of the Caumartin family, former lords of the village.

The mulberries (Mûres) are a canting symbol and the ampoule is the symbol of St. Remigius, the local patron saint.
