Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted on May 3, 2013.

The arms show the geographical position of the village in a valley, with the two local castles on the mountains. The grapes indicate the importance of viticulture for the village.

The Tau-cross is the symbol of St. Anthony, the local patron saint. The pigeons (colombes) are a canting element.
