Pierre-Paul-Désiré Siraudin (18 December 1812[1] – 8 September 1883) was a French playwright and librettist.
He also used the pen names Paul de Siraudin de Sancy, Paul Siraudin de Sancy and M. Malperché.[citation needed]
Biography
He wrote many plays, mainly comedies and vaudevilles written in collaboration, notably with Alfred Delacour and Lambert-Thiboust. He also authored librettos for successful operettas and opéras-comiques, including La fille de Madame Angot (1872) in collaboration with Clairville and Victor Koning with music by Charles Lecocq.
In 1860,[citation needed] Siraudin opened a confectionery shop — the Maison Siraudin — at the corner of the Rue de la Paix and the Place Vendôme.[2] Siraudin's sweets were "renowned all the world over";[2] for example, Siraudin's Perles des Pyrénées ("Pearls of the Pyrenees"), consisting of perfumed sugar, are mentioned in Joris-Karl Huysmans' novel À rebours (1884).
