Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on December 20, 2021.

The crossed keys refer to St. Peter, the patron saint of the village. The two wheatears refer to the agricultural character and the three stars are taken from the arms of Sans de Bézolles, lord of the village at the end of the 16th century. He also donated the bells of the local church in 1696.

The small shield shows the lion of the Gers dé[artement.
