[Nitpick]  
Accepted, but it should be “Quelle est L’École des 3 Gourmandes” , or to be even more nitpicky , since the clue was referring to the words on the badge and not the school itself: “Quels sont «École Des 3 Gourmandes»”?". The patch does not have the article “L” on it . Here’s a picture of the patch: [Patch, L’Ecole Des Trois Gourmandes | National Museum of American History](https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/nmah_892330)
