Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 1930.

The columns are taken from the arms of the Great Saint Bernard Abbey, whose provost, Guillaume de Pizy, had built before 1376 a strong house on his patrimonial lands in the village.

The scallops are taken from the arms of Guillaume de Grandson, who also had an estate in the village.
