Saint Michael’s Feast
Considered the most powerful and beautiful of all angels—particularly popular in Provence—Saint Michael has watched over Menton and its inhabitants for centuries, alongside Saint Peter. In the past, his feast marked the start or renewal of rental contracts; the expression “faire Saint-Michel” meant the end of the lease or a move.
In case of rain, the event will take place at the Palais de l’Europe.

Vernissage: Mediterranean Landscapes by Gianne de Genevraye
International painter Gianne de Genevraye paints public gardens in Europe, Japan, Mexico, the UK, and the USA. A contemporary nature painter, she exhibits widely, and her works are held in prestigious collections.
Exhibition: Le château des illusions
In this third part of Menton, focusing on the theme of the castle (a reference to the bastion), the central thread of this new exhibition of Jean Cocteau’s works will delve into the universe of the poet prince’s performances: theater, music hall, and pantomime.
It will be an opportunity to showcase the ‘sacred monsters’ who were close to him: Jean Marais, Edith Piaf, Berthe Bovy, Suzy Solidor… Fascinated by the circus since childhood, Cocteau never ceased to transcribe this magic into his work. The exhibition, curated by Dominique Marny, will be designed by Frédéric Beauclair
