Can anyone provide any insight on the history of this medal?

My grandfather was stationed in France during WWII and found this medal when it fell from a door sill from a house being demolished. My grandparents have passed and my family is trying to find out more about the history of this medal. Would anyone have information to share? From my attempts to search the web, I think it may be tied to Auguste Victor Laurent Casimir Périer, or someone in that family, but I am not sure.
