Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on October 4, 1999.
The golden shield with three blue bars is taken from the arms of the family of Vassé, former lords of the village. The sun symbolizes Saints Gervais and Protais the patron saints of the parish. They are part of the ice saints, and the colouring of the sun in blue (cold) and gold (hot) symbolises this.
The chief is taken from the arms of the family of Montesson, also former lords of Brée.
