+===Origin/meaning===
+The current arms have officially been adopted in 1944, but have been used since 1789.
-===Official blazon===
+The three fleur-de-lys are the French Royal arms and clearly indicate the Royal connections and the Royal palace. The meaning of the double-roosters in the chief is not very clear. The most likely hypothesis seems to be the symbol of vigilance represented by the two roosters, vigilance with which the municipality and the civic guard had to fulfill their double duty towards the King and the City.
-D'azur à trois fleurs de lis d'or; au chef d'argent chargé d'un coq bicéphale issant au naturel.
