Département : Aisne

Official blason

(fr) Tiercé en pairle renversé: au 1er d'azur semé de billettes d'or, au lion du même, au 2e d'or à la tige de saponaire feuillée de sinople et fleurie d'argent, au 3e de gueules à la fasce ondée d'argent et à la gerbe de blé d'or brochante.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on November 9, 2020.

The golden lion with the billets is taken from the arms of the De Conflans family, former lords of the village. The plant is a canting soapwort (saponaire, Saponaria officinalis), which is also common in the municipality. The lower half refer with the garb to agriculture and with the wavy bar to the Ourq river.
