Any reference sources for French civil medals?

[Duncan]

As a sideline to my military medals I occasionally collect other medals that look interesting. I see there's a lot of beautiful French civil medals that are otten very cheap  - like the one in the picture I've just bought. However there's very little information I can find on French civil medals. Does anyone know of any online guides or resources out there, preferably in English. 

Many thanks 

Duncan.

Hello Duncan,

 

You might find the France Phaleristique website useful : look under DECORATIONS and then scroll down to MEDAILLES D'HONNEUR ... lots of "civil" medals there ?

Hello Duncan and Hendrik

 

France Phaléristique only present officials orders and medals

 

the medals of "académie du dévouement national" are inclued in unofficials medals who's classed 

"associative medals" and about we haven't many information as part of someone.

 

have a good day.

Thank you both, that's really useful. 

Kind regards 

Duncan
