Théâtre de plein air Jean-Cocteau

Founded in 1952 by Jean Moreau, the Mediterranean Center for French Studies serves as a language learning institution designed for Franco-German cultural and artistic exchange. Established in the context of post-war reconciliation, it aims to promote interactions and leverage culture to connect youth. Notable figures from the worlds of art, music, and theater are frequently invited to perform for students or attend productions. In 1957, during a theater performance, the director invited Jean Cocteau, who frequently stayed at the Santo-Sospir villa in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
