An old picture to identify

Many years ago I gained a handful of photos from a semi-derelict property in near Metz in Northern France one of which is of some sort of ceremony or prize giving connected with aviation in a period I presume to be just after the first world war. My wish to identify it is of no great importance but having just rediscovered it after about 30 years, I thought you history buffs might enjoy it as an exercise of identification.

It's a very substantial trophy on the table and there are some very happy looking chappies among the less cheerful entourage.

The image is stamped on the reverse 'Ligue Internationa des Aviateurs, Clos Normand, Forte Maillot, Bois de Boulogne Paris -France.

Over to you....
