Médaille de la Famille française
French civil decoration honouring mothers of large families.
The Médaille de la Famille française (English: Medal of the French Family) is a decoration awarded by the government of France to honour those who have successfully raised several children with dignity. The decoration was created by a decree of May 26, 1920, under the name Médaille d'honneur de la famille française, with the aim of honouring mothers of large families.[1] Although the medal rewards those with large families, the children must be "raised well" and the eldest be at least 16 years old.
