Hôtel de Trudon
Hôtel de Trudon is an eighteenth-century building in Paris, with a facade shaped by four bays and moulded arched windows. Sculpted decoration enriches the frontage, while a wrought-iron balcony rests on consoles bearing cartouches and floral garlands.
André Eynaud, a wine merchant to the king, commissioned the house in 1717 from architect Pierre François Godot. François Trudon later acquired it, linking the building to a family whose candle business began with Claude Trudon’s shop on Rue Saint-Honoré in 1643. Beeswax supported that early trade, before the family supplied candles to the royal court and churches across France.
Jérôme Trudon acquired the Royal Wax Manufacture at Antony in 1737, south of Paris. The business later became Cire Trudon in 2007, producing scented candles while continuing its church supply.
