===Official blazon=== | |||
De gueules au saint Georges d'or terrassant un dragon de sable. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially adopted in 1923. | |||
In 1822 already, the local inn had a rider on its sign. A century later, after the mobilization of 1914-1918, the town offered its soldiers a medal showing a Saint George killing the legendary dragon. | |||
In 1923, the canting saint from this medal was taken as a municipal coat of arms, with the colours of Aubonne, chief town of the district. | |||
