Full day tour : 9 hours

During the the 20th century, our region was the favourite spot of many artists, and Jean Cocteau was one of them.

He was, at the same time a theater and a movie director, a stage manager for many other types of shows, a decorator for the famous Russians Ballets.

He had a remarkable personality, and was a multi-purpose artist free from all types of artistic groups.

Tourmented by a peculiar private life, he leaves behind him, in this area, la Côte d’Azur, an important number of paintings as a great pictorial inheritage.
