Jeton "LA PAYSANNE DES VOSGES"

Hi,

This thing is of French origin. I'm sure there are people here who can help me. Please tell about it (what it is, years...).

Thanks,
Victor

Senonges is a small village of the Vosges mountains in the eponymous department.
Impossible to find any castle around, even with streetview.
It's an advertising token : Peasant of the Vosges - Patented - Owner of the Senonges castle - by Darney Vosges
some other token add "Peasant of the Vosges and her son" but ... what was producing this gorgeous peasant of the Vosges ?
Vosges are well known for milk and candy and there is a candy factory in Darney, next to Senonges.
There were also in Darney, a glass factory:

a cutlery factory :

and a career of grinding stones

The obverse is type "Ceres imitated" likely ~1890, there are other advertising token with the same obverse face
Senonges, late 19th century:

with the most charmant cottage of Senonges bordering the forest:

So my idea is that a factory of candies located at Darney was producing and selling under the brand "The peasant of the Vosges"

... until proven otherwise

The holly quest continue ...

Now ... Mr and Ms Vrillac Ainé owned this henceforth world famous, but still not found, castle of Senonges

and these jolly fellows owned a castle in Normandy too

Adjacent to the town of St Sever Calvados, there is a hamlet called "Rotating bridge" in the town of Mesnil-Clinchamps, still no castle so named.
Once again what dis they produce ???
The well known Calvados liquor is produced in the east part of the Calvados department. We are here at the western part with only cows producing milk.
Well ... Watson, please come on

We've got a J.Vrillac in Portorson (Manche) next to the Calvados department:


and ... return to the Vosges here we are !

he add patented the "Beaume Vrillac" produced in the Vosges (Darney), Calvados (St Sever), Manche(Pontorson) and Mayenne (Chateau Gontier)

And what was this Beaume (Baume) , milk based for sure ...
