The Prix de Rome or Grand Prix de Rome was a French scholarship for arts students, initially for painters and sculptors, that was established in 1663 during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Winners were awarded a bursary that allowed them to stay in Rome for three to five years at the expense of the state.

The Théâtre Édouard VII, also called théâtre Édouard VII – Sacha Guitry, is located in Paris between the Madeleine and the Palais Garnier in the 9th arrondissement. The square, in which there is a statue of King Edward VII, was opened in 1911. The theatre itself, which was originally a cinema, was named in the honour of Edward VII, as he was nicknamed the "most Parisian of all Kings", appreciative of French culture. In the early to mid 1900s, under the direction of Sacha Guitry, the theatre became a symbol of anglo-franco friendship, where French people could discover and enjoy Anglo Saxon works.
