The colours of the arms have always been red and white. The first supporters appear in the 16<sup>th</sup> century , two angels holding the shield. From 1568 they are replaced by two lions. In 1617 a helmet appeared on the shield. The helmet was never officially granted, but is still used on the great-arms of the city (see below). The crown appeared first in the late 16<sup>th</sup> century. | The colours of the arms have always been red and white.

The arms were first officially granted by Napoleon on June 13,1811. The arms showed a chief of red with the three golden bees (the symbol of a city of first rank), but the key was made black on a golden shield. These are the only arms in which the colours were changed. | The arms were first officially granted by Napoleon on June 13,1811.
