The Story Behind the Design The illustration shows a man holding a pig, with other pigs nearby, trees and a windmill. The named landmark is on the heights of Pouzauges, where two historic windmills overlook the Vendée countryside. The exterior inscription connects the piece to Fleury et Michon, whose corporate history records its establishment in Pouzauges in 1934. Fleury Michon primarily offers ready-to-eat meals and deli products like cold cuts, prepared meals, and healthy options such as low-fat and organic choices. They focus on convenience and quality, providing a variety of tasty and easy-to-prepare food for busy consumers.
