Blazon

" Of gold to the three corbels of sand posed two and un".

The three black corbels come from the legend of the monk Benoît de Nursie, father of the monastic rule of the Benedictines. Saint Benoît lived withdrawn in an inhospitable cave and shared his food of hermit with a corbel which came each day to visit him. A jealous priest sent poisoned bread to him. He gave it to the corbel while saying to him to throw it in a place inaccessible to the men.

The corbel was then symbol of obligingness, intelligence and fidelity.
