In French, a grange is a barn*, and a grangette (a common toponym in Switzerland and Savoy) is probably a barn of smaller size. This flag is canting.
*Note that a grange in this area is more than a barn: It was the small house located in median elevation inhabited during the summer season by the whole family and cattle.
