Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted in September 2003.

The bridge symbolises the (now ruined) Roman bridge in the municipality, and indicates the long history of the area. The arrows are the symbol of the local patron saint, St. Giraud (Saint Gerald of Salles), as Gerard is of German origin meaning "rule of the spear". The fleur-de-lys indicate that the village was a royal estate.
