Molière

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, a distinguished French playwright and actor, made his grand entrance into the world in the charming city of Paris, nestled along the banks of the majestic Seine River, within the timeframe of January 13 to January 15, 1622. His parents, Jean Poguelin and Marie Cresé, were a youthful couple, with his father, a skilled tapestry-maker, having the esteemed privilege of working for the revered King of France, and his mother, a 20-year-old woman, barely out of her teenage years, bringing a sense of innocence and vulnerability to their newly formed family.
