Follow in the footsteps of France’s greatest dramatist on a walk through seventeenth-century Paris
The Comédie-Française proposes a guided walk through Paris to follow in Molière’s footsteps. From the church of Saint-Eustache, where he was baptised, to the Rue de Richelieu, his final home, participants learn about the life of the actor, author and troupe leader. The journey ends at the Comédie-Française, where Molière remains the “Patron”, the boss. Guided by a lecturer, visitors are invited to discover the inner workings of this unique theatre: its Troupe and the Repertoire it performs in its alternating programme at the Salle Richelieu.

For school groups (primary school pupils from ages 10 and up, secondary school pupils and students in higher education): groups of between fifteen and thirty young people supervised by adults (ratio of one to eight). Insurance must be paid by the school.

Discover the workings of the theatre in the past and the present
The Comédie-Française proposes lecture-visits that explain its history through its collections of artworks and the principles upon which it operates: the Troupe, the Repertoire, the alternating programme, the three stages and the theatre trades. In short, an insight into the life of a theatre that gives nearly nine hundred performances per season.

The lecture-visits are intended for groups of up to 15 people, from ages 12 and up. They are organised for associations, school groups, cultural groups of general interest, and works councils. They take place on Saturdays and Sundays and last about two hours.
