Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 2022.

The ermine refers to Bretagne, the region in which the village is situated. The pears are taken from the arms of the De perini family, former lords of the village. The wavy bend symbolises the Scorff river, the Western boundary of the municipality.

The base shows a lion and sword for St. Adrian, the patron saint of the local church. The green symbolises agriculture.
