Festival de Cette Ville

28mm, brass

Pierre writes: "Cette" is the previous ( XIX° century ) way of writing the name of "Sète", which is a town near Beziers, on the mediterranean french coast. CETTE VILLE translates "Town of SETE " This small medal celebrates a music festival which took place on the 14th of July 1878 (Bastille Day, on the 14th of July, is the French symbol of the end of the Monarchy and the beginning of the First Republic )
Christian writes: I have no idea where that is from, but unless there is a French/francophone town called "Cetteville" (which I doubt), this "Festival de Cette Ville" simply means "festival of this town/city" :-)
