The arms show bunches of three watercress (''Nasturtium officinale'') under a chief of France. The arms have been used since at least the 17th century. | |||

The arms are based on a legend, in which King Louis IX (King Saint Louis) during one of his many visits between 1227 and 1268 was offerd a bunch of watercress by the citizens to quench his thirst as it was a very hot day. The King was so grateful that he granted the arms with the watercress under the Royal Chief to the city. | |||
