Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted on March 8, 2013.

The tower is taken from the arms of the la Tour Gouvernet family, last lords of the village until 1789. The chief is based on the arms of Raimbaud de Calma, first known lord of Lachau in 1209.

The tower also refers to the Tour du Riable tower in the municipality.
