A world beyond the screen

Charade belongs to a real city: begin at Palais-Royal, turn through Comédie-Française, and finish where its cultural afterlife still feels present.

Regina’s elegant Paris begins among arcades and gardens where appearances are never reliable. From there, Comédie-Française changes the rhythm before Colonnade du Louvre supplies the final afterimage; doubles, altered sites and public access are labelled at the point they matter.
