At the Ministry of Culture in Paris on Tuesday March 12, Peter Molyneux was presented with his medallion by Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres, the French Minister for Culture.

The Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) is an Order of France that recognises significant contributions to the arts and literature

Minister Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres said “I am particularly glad to salute today a veritable visionary, who shows for every creation of his own how video games have their place in this stateroom.

I am extremely proud to have received this honour and would like to thank the French Ministry of Culture for this recognition,” said Molyneux. “I would also like to say that I see this as a credit for everyone at Lionhead Studios, all our games are a team effort. I am just the figurehead. It is fantastic to see video games honoured in this way.

Molyneux’s Lionhead Studios is currently hard at work on Fable 2 for the Xbox 360, more info on which you can find over on the Fable 2 game page.
