Comment

Two ribbons in the colors of France and Belgium are superimposed and folded so that both flags are visible. Belgian or French medal? Given that the dominant motif is the coat of arms of Chablis, we can imagine that it comes from France...

Ferrières

Ferrières is a French-speaking village and commune in the Walloon region of Belgium, in the province of Liège. The commune is part of the Pays d'Ourthe-Amblève tourist board.

Chablis
Chablis is a French commune in the Yonne department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It is famous for its wine. The town of Chablis is built partly on a low mound, and surrounded by several other mounds used for vine-growing.
