In order to reuse Le Cyclone, Méliès designed a separate film, Robert Macaire and Bertrand. Robert Macaire, a legendary bandit antihero in the Romantic tradition, first appeared on stage as a character in a Parisian melodrama, The Inn of Les Adrets (L'Auberge des Audrets). When the French actor Frédérick Lemaître played Macaire at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique in 1823, he introduced a distinctive visual appearance for the character and added a vein of black comedy to the role; Lemaître's characterization was a major success and became a cultural icon. By 1834, Lemaître had entirely rewritten the play, transforming it into a topically oriented comedy called simply Robert Macaire.

As a playwright, he is best known for his participation under the pen name Polyanthe, with Antier and Saint-Amand, to the writing of the drama L'Auberge des Adrets, premiered in 1823.

It was built in the 11th century, in a style mixing the Gothic and Romanesque influences, but it is based on constructions of the 2nd and 8th centuries. It was successively transformed throughout the late Middle Ages and the modern time, particularly because the roadway of the Place Saint Jean was raised twice. The Parish choir school, and particularly the sculptures of the saints, underwent damages by the troops of François de Beaumont, baron des Adrets, during the siege of Lyon in 1562 by the Protestants. From the 16th to the 18th century, the building had many architectural modifications, including the drilling of Gothic windows, the addition of a floor above the frieze, the transformation of the ground floor into shops, and the filling of certain arches.

The square was created in 1556 after a request by King Henri II who wanted to replace the monks cemetery, located at the north of the Jacobins church, with a market. One year later, the walls of the old cemetery of monks disappeared and the place became a public square. In 1562, some buildings were destroyed by the troops of the Baron des Adrets to open the rue Saint- Dominique. The square was then triangular and named Place de Confort. From 1296, the Jacobins had a convent on the place, with a garden, and Jacques Duèze was elected Pope in this convent on 7 August 1316 by 23 cardinals locked in by the Count of Poitiers. Here Humbert II, the last Dauphin of Vienne (1348), made an assignment of his States to Charles, eldest son of the Duke of Normandy. In 1495, Charles VIII and his wife lived in the monastery. After the Revolution of 1789, the monastery was used as cars shed.

Scenes and characters from Jules Verne's féerie, Journey Through the Impossible By the mid-nineteenth century, féeries had become one of the foremost venues for fairy-tale storytelling in popular culture, and had gained the fascination and respect of some of the foremost writers of the day. Théophile Gautier often reviewed them in his capacity as a writer on the theatre, comparing the shifting scenes and magical occurrences of the féerie to a dream: The popularity of the féerie had its first peak in the 1850s; by the end of the decade, around the time of Les Bibelots du diable, the focus had shifted from the fairy-tale plot to extravaganza on its own terms. Siraudin and Delacour's 1856 satire La Queue de la poêle parodied the conventions of the genre, much as Frédérick Lemaître had done to melodrama in his version of L'Auberge des Adrets. Though seen as somewhat old-fashioned during the 1860s, the genre saw a second surge in popularity from 1871 through the 1890s, in which ever more lavish versions of the genre's classics were mounted.
