"Montyon Prizes (Prix Montyon) are a series of prizes awarded annually by the Acad\u00E9mie Fran\u00E7aise. They were endowed by the French benefactor Baron de Montyon.Prior to start of the French Revolution, the Baron de Montyon established a series of prizes to be given away by the Acad\u00E9mie Fran\u00E7aise, the Acad\u00E9mie des Sciences, and the Acad\u00E9mie Nationale de M\u00E9decine. These were abolished by the National Convention, but were taken up again when Baron de Montyon returned to France in 1815."@en .
