Nearby, the Musée Jean Cocteau collection Séverin Wunderman displays works by poet Jean Cocteau.
Menton is the The Lemon Festival Capital of the World, located very close to the border of France and Italy and in many ways is more Italian than French. It has its own microclimate, generally milder than the rest of the French Riviera, and became in the late Nineteenth Century a place where Northern Europeans with TB came to either regain their health or to die. As a result its cemetery is filled with the graves of notable Englishmen, Germans, Russians. The old town is largely pedestrianised which adds to the charm of this sedate resort.
Last stop on the Côte d’Azur before Italy, the seaside town of Menton offers a glimpse of what the high life on the Riviera must have been like before the developers moved in. With its sunny climate, shady streets and pastel mansions – not to mention a lovely old port – it’s one of the most attractive towns on the entire coast. Menton’s old town is a cascade of pastel-coloured buildings. Add a fantastic museum dedicated to the great artist and film director Jean Cocteau, as well as several excellent restaurants, and Menton really is a must.
Alot to see in Menton such as :
Jean Cocteau Museum Although it was previously in a bastion near the port, the new museum is a purpose built building designed by the Italian Architect Rudi Ricotti and houses an incredible modern interactive display of drawings, ceramics, tapestries and a large mosaic by the artist.
Salle des Marriages In the town hall, the civic wedding hall is decorated completely in murals by Jean Cocteau.
The charming old town is compact and largely pedestrianised.
Several impressive gardens dotted through the town including those at Garavan (Olive trees in Parc du Pian, Jardin Exotique, Villa Fontana Rosa).
Casino and the magnificent hotels Royal Westminster and Ambassadeurs.
Cimetière du Vieux Chateau Russian Orthodox chapel, grave of William Webb Ellis - founder of Rugby football, view over town.
The perched villages inland (Ste Agnes and Gorbio).
The Mare Nostrum brewery in Castillon.
Fête du Citron There's a lemon party and you're invited! Lemon-related festivities over several days in February.

ECOUTEZ-VOIR - Sarah Bernhardt à Menton
Sarah Bernhardt est considérée comme la première artiste à atteindre le statut de star internationale par son jeu théâtral unique de tragédienne mais aussi par son excentricité.
Jean Cocteau fut l’un de ses admirateurs, spectateur assidu des pièces dans lesquelles elle se produisait.
A Menton, il lui fait une place de choix en lui ouvrant son Bastion et une partie de son musée.

Menton – Sarah Bernhardt au Musée Jean Cocteau
3 dicembre 2017 admin Modifica
L’Impératrice du Théâtre
Sarah Bernhardt naît le 22 octobre 1844 à Paris. Elle passe son enfance dans un couvent à Quimperlé et à 16 ans remporte un prix à l’Académie des Beaux-Arts qui signe sa vocation de comédienne. Dès sa sortie du Conservatoire d’Art Dramatique de Paris, elle est reçue à la Comédie-Française. La relation passionnelle qu’elle entretient avec cette institution en la quittant, puis revenant pour être renvoyée ponctue ses premières années de comédienne. Mais rapidement cet esprit farouchement indépendant trouve à l’Odéon, puis en tant que directrice du Théâtre de la porte Saint-Martin et du Théâtre de la Renaissance (1893), un espace qui lui permet une expression totalement libre. Elle monte sa propre troupe au Théâtre des Nations qu’elle rebaptise de son nom. C’est probablement dans ses innombrables tournées à travers le monde entier qu’elle transmet le mieux cet art dramatique dont elle représente véritablement l’incarnation, charmant de sa « voix d’or » un public conquis, même ignorant de la langue française. Elle revient à Paris, adulée, dépense et gagne des fortunes et c’est à Belle-Île-en-Mer qu’elle trouve refuge, entourée de sa « Ménagerie ». Leggi tutto...
