Le Roi, l'Écureuil et la Couleuvre (2011)

EndedScripted showDrama, History

The king was entertained at Fouquet's castle with such luxury that the king was in a sullen mood the whole night : a gargantuan buffet, a play by Molière ('Les Fâcheux"), produced for the first time for the event. The king was so infuriated by his host's wealth that he refused to spend the night in the palace. It sealed the superintendent's fate; but actually, Fouquet's disgrace was secretly decided upon on 4 May, more than three months before. After a travesty of a trial, Fouquet was sentenced to banishment; abetted by Colbert, the king commuted it to life imprisonment. The unfortunate Bon Vivant spent the rest of his life in the fortress of Pignerolles.

The Repair Shop

The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.

The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
