The lower half refers to St. Giles, the local patron saint. According to legend St Giles was born in Athens then went to Rome before retiring to the current department of Gard, in the South of France. He lived alone, as a hermit in a forest, when suddenly a frightened doe came towards him. Dogs barked and the petrified doe went behind St Giles. An arrow was drawn by one of the hunters, St Giles raised his hand, stopped the arrow and saved the doe. The King immediately stopped the hunt before this miracle. To be forgiven, he built an abbey in the Gard of which Saint Giles became the abbot. | The lower half refers to St. Giles, the local patron saint.
