Tourist Information
It is to King Louis XIV that we owe the creation of the Comédie-Française in 1680. The most famous of the writers of the Comédie-Française is without any doubt Molière who is still considered as patron of French actors today. After occupying a number of buildings, the Comédie-Française today has its home in the splendid Salle Richelieu at the Palais-Royal in the first arrondissement of Paris. The Comédie-Française remains the only state theatre in the country to have a permanent company of actors, namely the Troupe des Comédiens français. http://www.comedie-francaise.fr/
