Official blazon

D'or à une tête de gorgone de gueules, l'écu sommé d'une couronne d'or, fermée, de gueules, l'arceau central surmonté d'une croisette, le tout brochant sur une crosse, le crosseron à l'extérieur, et une épée passées en sautoir, également d'or.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 21, 1982.

The arms show a gorgon head, taken from the arms of the Counts of Logne, who had their large castle in Ferrières. The arms appear on the 16th and 17th century seals of the local court.
