Official blazon
D'azur à la fontaine d'or jaillissante et rayonnante d'argent, accompagnée en chef d'un B d'or clouté d'argent, de cinq pièces à dextre et d'une abeille d'or à senestre.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on June 24, 1929.
The arms show a fountain, as the village is a well-known spa and resort. The letter B is the town's initial, and has several nail heads on it. These refer to a local villager, Charles Levy, who invented a machine to produce nails in the middle of the 19th century,
The bee symbolises the former embroidery industry, as around 1850 nearly 200 people worked from home on embroidery.
