    Trudon's story begins in 1643. Claude Trudon becomes the owner of a store on rue Saint Honoré in Paris. There he sells spices and candles. Michel Brice Péan de Saint Gilles founds the manufacture for the whitening of waxes and the manufacturing of candles in the town of Antony, south of Paris in 1702. The manufacture becomes a Royal Manufacture in 1719, the one and only candle manufacture to ever obtain this title.

    As a Trudon heir, Jérôme Trudon buys the Royal Wax Manufacture, in Antony in 1737, the manufacture innovates and perfects the art of manufacturing perfectly white beeswax candles. Its moto becomes “DEO REGIQUE LABORANT”, which means: “They work for God and the King.”, “they” being the bees.

    The Carrière brothers, successors of the Trudon family and know how, obtain a gold medal for the innovation brought to their candles at the 1889 World Exposition.
