Built on the port of Menton, the Bastion is a museum dedicated to the works of Jean Cocteau. If the project was completed 3 years after his death, it has nevertheless greatly contributed to the rehabilitation of this small fort of the seventeenth century. Each year, in order to respect the artist's wish that his works should take on "an air of habit", the exhibition is renewed. The Jean Cocteau Museum, the Bastion is an essential step in the footsteps of the famous painter, draftsman and poet.
