PEZENAS Everywhere in Pezenas, you will find the memory of French comedies writter : Jean-Baptiste POQUELIN, known as MOLIERE. He was not born in Pezenas but he stayed some years there acting for the Prince de Conti. Theatrical productions in Pézenas now are either in the street, as in Molière’s time, or in the open air theatre in the Parc Sans Souci.
