Cire Trudon's Louise

Louise was the daughter of the architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart (1739-1813), 

famous for designing the Stock Exchange building in Paris

and transforming the Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Thanks to his mother who was a painter and 

his father who was a caretaker at the Louvre museum, 

Brongniart became acquainted at a very early age with the best sculptors of his time. 

In 1777, he commissioned one such sculptor, Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828), 

(considered by many to be the most brilliant portraitist of the 18th century) 

to sculpt in stone the portrait of his daughter, Louise.

Cire Trudon's Napoleon

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) became aware of the importance 

of having his portrait shown to the French people. 

Thus, he initiated the edification of his own legend.

The many objects bearing the effigy of the Emperor 

constituted an extraordinary propaganda tool for the Napoleonic legend. 

During the Restoration, however, 

Bonapartists and their Napoleonic symbols were forced to hide.

The Emperor’s death in 1821 made him less dangerous in the eyes of Royalists 

and objects representing him once again multiplied. 

The Second Empire (1852) made the imperial legend official, with commissions of sculptures and paintings exhibited in museums and public squares.

Although the Second Empire re-established the official propaganda, 

the fall of the regime in 1870 put an end to the celebration of Napoleon for 20 years. 

Nationalist fervour rose again in the 1890s and 
since then he has not ceased to be a heroic figure.

Well aware of the richness of its history, Maison Cire Trudon asked

 the Réunion des Musées Nationaux the rights to reproduce in wax 
some jewels from its Molding Workshop catalogue. 
Cire Trudon is proud to introduce the busts of characters in French History, 
a precious theme for the company that was the official Royal Wax Manufacturer.

A Change of Appetite by Diana Henry

Where healthy meets delicious.

Here are the dishes that Diana Henry created when she started to crave

 a different kind of diet – 

less meat and heavy food, more vegetable-, fish- and grain-based dishes.

Often inspired by the food of the Middle East and the Far East, 

but also drawing on cuisines from Georgia to Scandinavia.

Curious about what ‘healthy eating’ really means, 

Diana discovered a lighter, fresher way of eating. 

From a Cambodian salad of prawns, grapefruit, toasted coconut and mint to North African mackerel with cumin to blood orange and cardamom sorbet, 

the magical dishes in this book are bursting with flavour, goodness and colour.

It’s all about opening up your palates to new possibilities. 

There is no austerity here, simply fabulous food that nourishes body and soul.
