The Comédie-Française shop, like a theater museum
Nestled under the arcades at the corner of Place Colette and Rue de Richelieu, open to the peristyle since its renovation, it offers everyone the opportunity to take a part of the Comédie-Française with them.
The shelves have a swarm shape because the emblem of Molière's house is the beehive.
Beyond the honey, there are heaps of marvels: a collection of seasonal glasses, this year engraved with verses by Molière for the 400th anniversary of the boss's birth, but also soaps whose pattern is inspired by the costume d'Arlequin, canvas covers used by upholsterers to cover furniture.
Latest collaboration: Trudon X Comédie-Française.
Either four candles stamped with the effigy of Molière which combine Klein blue and vermilion, pink and fuchsia,
saffron and sky blue and… white on white.
For the record, Molière's troupe called on the Maison Trudon for its orders of white candles.
A whole cabinet of curiosities set to music by director Martine Villemot.

SCHOOL
This looks like a book but is more of an experience.
36 leaflets make it possible to reproduce around fifty details of the
Water Lilies
paintings in real size.
We know that these landscapes of water, these games of transparency of the funds, of reverberation of the sky on the water, whose central motif is constituted by the water lilies is the great work of Claude Monet.
They are one of the sources of abstraction in the 20th century.
This unique book written by the art historian Michel Draguet offers an immersion in the basin of the Japanese garden of Giverny, a visual journey to the heart of the work.
Masterful.
