===Origin/meaning===
The arms show a lion, but the origin is not clear. It has been stated that it is the lion of [[Hainaut]] in inversed colours, but that is unlikely as Hainaut never used a single lion, but a quartered shield of Vlaanderen (Flandre) and Holland since the 13th century. In the 19th century also swan supporters have been used (see also below for the swan arms).


===Official blazon===
Sometimes other arms are shown for the town, showing a swan. These are canting arms; Val-de-Cygnes (valley of swans). I have, however, only seen those on Dutch maps, or sources based on maps, from the 16th and 17th century. Sometimes alone, sometimes both arms (lion and swan) are shown on the map.
