Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on March 28, 1988.
The two golden keys are taken from the arms of the Abbess of Rimeront who, before 1244, owned Marlou and remained until the Revolution the patron of the church of Mellecey. The two keys are also the symbol of St. Peter, patron saint of the parish.
The red point symbolises the cloak of St. Martin of Tours. The canons of Saint-Martin de Tours historically owned part of the territory. Finally, the fleur-de-lys refer to the castle of Germolles, a ducal property in the Middle Ages where King Charles VI was received in 1389.
