High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Comedie-Francaise or Theatre-Francais is one of the few state theaters in France. It is the only state theater to have its own troupe of actors. It is located in the Ier arrondissement of Paris. The theatre has also been known as the Theatre-Nautique and as the theatre de la Republique. The best-known playwright associated with the Comedie-Francaise is Moliere. He was considered the patron of French actors; however, he died seven years before the birth of "la maison de Moliere", as the Comedie-Francaise is often styled. The Comedie-Francaise was founded by a decree of Louis XIV on 24 August 1680 to merge the only two Parisian acting troupes of the time, the troupe of the hotel Guenegaud and that of the hotel de Bourgogne. The repertoire at that time consisted of the collection of theatrical works by Moliere and Jean Racine, along with a few works by Pierre Corneille, Paul Scarron and Jean Rotrou. Its first building was housed at the Hotel de Guenegaud.
