Trudon developed and perfected the art of candle making in the latter part of the 17th century. They use the very same methods to create the finest quality candles today.
The boutique is a sight to see, it has the atmosphere of a specialty museum. Magnificently scented candles are displayed under large, but delicate glass domes. The fragrance of each candle is contained until the moment the dome is lifted. Hand-written, tented note cards describe the scent and ingredients of each candle. The walls are adorned with 18th century engravings depicting apprentices and artisans performing their craft.
In 1719, Trudon was designated the Royal Manufacturer of Wax and began supplying candles to the King. In the boutique on the rue de Seine, one can purchase essentially the same candles used by the royal family so many years ago.
