"Discovering the Treasures of Trouve" Step into the past with a glimpse of history through these captivating engravings. The facade of the former Vaudeville theater, built in 1827 on Place de la Bourse for Les Nouveautes, tells tales of entertainment and cultural significance. Once occupied by Opera-Comique and later dedicated to Vaudeville, it stood as a testament to Parisian artistry. Delving deeper into Trouve's secrets, an engraving reveals Cippe found behind Sainte Chapelle in 1784. This discovery takes us back centuries, offering a rare glimpse into life during that time. Nature's ancient wonders also come alive through engravings showcasing fossilized animals from the Seine basin. These remnants remind us of prehistoric times when these creatures roamed freely. Marvel at the exquisite Corinthian marble capital from Merovingian times unearthed during excavations on Parvis Square in 1847. Its intricate design speaks volumes about craftsmanship passed down through generations. Another intriguing find is a bas-relief discovered near Issoire, Puy-de-Dome in 1845. It offers insight into artistic expressions prevalent during that era and invites contemplation about its original purpose. The bronze Hermaphrodite statue recovered from the depths of the Seine adds an air of mystery to our journey through Trouve's treasures. Its presence raises questions about its origins and how it ended up submerged beneath Paris' waters. A funerary bas-relief found near Saint-Marcel in 1882 provides glimpses into mourning rituals and commemorations practiced long ago. Such discoveries offer poignant reminders of our mortality and human connection across time. Traveling further along this historical path leads us to Cluny Museum where a shield discovered in Loire captivates visitors with its intricate details and hints at battles fought by knights long gone but not forgotten.
