The Order of the Gallic Francisque was established

aligned Government of Vichy.
The Francisque (actually a labrys)- initially the 
personal symbol of Petain - was gradually used on 
official documents as the coat of arms of the Vichy 
regime.

Francisque.

burnt at the end of WW2.

its respective badges were banned following the 
end of WW2.
