Blason de Saugy
Official blazon
French D'argent au saule du même feuillé de sinople sur un mont du même; au chef d'azur chargé d'une statue de sainte Ursule d'argent adextrée d'un coeur cousu de gueules et senestrée d'une crosse d'or mouvant du trait du chef.
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The willow tree (saule) is taken as an erroneous interpretation of the name of the village (which would derive its etymology from the Roman name Salvius). Saint Ursula to whom is dedicated the church and the heart of St. Augustine (patron saint of the former priory, which is represented by the crosier) are shown in the chief.
