Origin/meaning

Hugues de Montconis, abbot of St Benigne of Dijon, gave in 1457 a charter of freedom and exemptions. The arms are derived from the arms of the Montconis family, to which are added three stars.

The three stars symbolize the three areas fixed by the main roads in the present village.
