The Vilac x Muséum national d'histoire naturelle (National Museum of Natural History) collaboration is new for 2023. Georges-Louis Leclerc, Count of Buffon (1707-1788) was the intendant of the royal botanical garden of France for almost 50 years, from 1739 until his death. His work Histoire naturelle (Natural History), in 36 illustrated volumes, was an extraordinary success immediately after its publication. The animals contained in the book were an inspiration for fine arts, fashion, decoration, educational works and children's books. This is evidenced by the Buffon memory game, an illustrated game published around 1840 in Paris. The memory game with 96 animals on 24 cards was made by Nicolas Fleuri Jannin. A reproduction is kept at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.

The manufacturer Vilac can boast of close cooperation with ADEME, a French government agency involved in a wide range of activities aimed at protecting the environment. The agency's history dates back to the 1970s, during the oil crisis. It actively collaborates with politicians, public organizations, the private sector and citizens. It is behind recommendations, proposals for technical, methodological and financial procedures, studies and awareness-raising campaigns. Thanks to its long-standing presence, ADEME is recognized as a trustworthy third party providing guarantees of the pursuit of a sustainable future. By purchasing a product from a manufacturer collaborating with this agency, the customer can demonstrate their will to preserve the environment through rigorously assessed procedures and key innovations throughout the entire process of its creation.
