Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on June 2, 2006.

The demi-fleur-de-lis are taken from the arms of the Carpentin family, lords of Bray from 1480 to 1660. The shells are taken from the coat of arms of Louis Le Canu of La Jonquière de Bray, the last lord of the village in the 18th century.

The heron symbolizes the marshes of the Somme valley.
