Who doesn't know Louis de Funès, one of the most famous French comic actors. His humor has crossed generations and his films have become cult and great classics of tricolor cinema that we appreciate to see again. A museum is dedicated to him in his former residence of the castle of Clermont on the commune of Le Cellier. The actor bought it in the late '60s for his wife. It was sold shortly after his death. Visitors will be able to find Rabbi Jacob's black hat and the broken sticks of conductor Stanislas Lefort in La Grande Vadrouille. In the background, they will hum the famous "Do you, do you Saint-Tropez" of the Gendarmes or Rabbi Jacob's dance. The establishment also offers exhibitions on the actor, as well as video montages and walking itineraries, "In the footsteps of Louis", including places associated with the memory of the actor.
