Carried by great names such as Moli\u00e8re, Dumas, Racine, Marivaux, Corneille or Beaumarchais, this art takes us on a field of plural emotions. Between classical plays and contemporary works, the theatre continues to attract crowds today and is constantly renewing itself to capture the attention of all audiences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>La Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise, the theatrical institution founded almost 350 years ago<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Founded by royal order of Louis XIV in 1680<\/strong>, the Com\u00e9die Fran\u00e7aise brings together the troupe of the H\u00f4tel Gu\u00e9n\u00e9gaud (which merges the Moli\u00e8re troupe directed by La Grange and the actors of the Marais) and that of the H\u00f4tel de Bourgogne.
