Comments

The medal is also available in bronze, silver and gold, but without the words "reconnue d'utilité publique" ("recognized as being of public utility"). The Grignon alumni association is now called "AgroParisTech Alumni".

In 1826, Charles X bought the Château de Grignon and founded the Institut Royale Agronomique de Grignon to train agricultural engineers, who were welcomed in 1828 by the first director, Auguste Bella. The name of the school changed with the regimes: Ecole Régionale d'Agriculture under the Second Republic, Ecole Impériale d'Agriculture under the Second Empire, Ecole Nationale d'Agriculture under the Third Republic, then Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Agronomie de Grignon (ENSAG) from 1960. The latter merged with the Institut National Agronomique in Paris to become the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon (INA P-G). A final merger took place in 2007 with ENGREF in Nancy and ENSIA in Massy to become the school known today as AgroParisTech.
