Louis de Funès died in 1983, and the museum dedicated to him opened decades later at the Château de Clermont in Saint-Raphaël — a building he actually owned and lived in during the last years of his life. That biographical detail gives the venue an authenticity that most celebrity museums lack.
These zero-euro souvenir notes are printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire under license from the European Central Bank, which granted permission for the format precisely because the denomination removes any legal tender complications. Oberthur applies the same security printing standards used on circulating currency — including embedded strip and UV-reactive features — making the technical specification genuinely identical to a working banknote.
