In 1643, a vendor named Claude Trudon arrived in Paris, a city where he married and opened a small grocery shop, where he also sold candles for domestic use and to supply the parish of Saint-Roch.
These candles were magnificent as they were made by Claude himself and wrapped by hand with great care and dedication.
Word soon spread, and in 1737 the small shop became a large factory, the Maison Trudon, supplier of candles and wax tapers to the court of Louis XIV as well as to the most important cathedrals and churches throughout France.
And so it has been since then. Praised and highly sought after for their clean and even combustion and for their most delicate white cotton wicks, which burn for hours without breaking, with a flame that neither flickers nor cracks. Almost magic.
These wonderful candles and their aromas, inspired by historical events, illuminated a monarchy, saw many heads roll during the Revolution, accompanied Napoleon into his battles, witnessed the Renaissance, the Parisian Belle Époque and reached the Orient dreamt of by painters and surrealist ravings… They even beat their worst enemy: the advent of gas and electricity, managing to win the gold medal at the 1889 Universal Exposition.
Three centuries later, Maison Trudon remains faithful to its origins, crafting exquisite, completely natural, safe, environmentally friendly and biodegradable scented candles. What's more, they last between 55 and 65 hours. Who could ask for more?
