===Official blason=== | |||
* (fr) D'or à deux clefs de gueules passées en sautoir ; au chef d'azur chargé de trois fleurs de lis d'or. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially adopted on April 2, 1970. | |||
The crossed keys are the symbol of St. Peter and refer to the important Abbey of St. Peter. The chief shows the Frnech Royal arms. | |||

The raven in the arms is canting (Corbeau in French) for the village of Corbie, the crosiers stand for the abbey, the keys for St. Peter. The arms are also used by the Belgian municipality of [[Houthulst]], as the abbey has considerable possessions in that area. | |||
