Trudon

Trudon's story began in 1643, when Claude Trudon began selling spices and candles as the owner of a store on rue Saint Honoré in Paris. In 1719, Trudon became a Royal Manufacture, the one and only candle manufacturer to ever obtain this title. At the crossroad between knowhow and History, the Trudon candles are born.

All our candles are handmade in the Trudon factory in Normandy, France. 

With its roots in the territory, Maison Trudon’s participation in a project to protect local endangered species makes perfect sense. In 2018 the company already committed financially to the Nature Park in a measure to preserve the region’s biodiversity. In partnership with the local Orne Dark Bee Conservatory, Maison Trudon helps protect the European dark bee, an endemic species and an essential link in the region’s biodiversity chain, but threatened by intensive agriculture and industrial beekeeping practices. The partnership comes as the perfect illustration of Cire Trudon’s moto since 1643: “Deo regique laborant,” or “They (the bees) work for God and the King.”
