Located at the foot of the old town of Menton, across from the covered market and by the sea, Musée Jean Cocteau Collection Séverin Wunderman opened in November 2011.

Our establishment is open daily. Guided visits are available for groups or individuals, in all major European languages (and also in Russian and Chinese). Free guided tours 365 days a year.

Overlooking the Principality of Monaco at 1,150m, like a balcony hanging over the Mediterranean, the little town of La Turbie seems to float in the sky, dominated by its gigantic Trophée d'Auguste (35 metres high!).

At the top of Cap Ferrat, discover the Villa built during the "Belle Epoque" by Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, its rich art collections, and its magnificent gardens.

Dolceacqua, twinned with the municipality of Monaco since 3 November 2023, is the most famous village in Val Nervia, which winds through the picturesque Ligurian Alps of northern Italy.
Just a few kilometres from the Principality, with its 15th century Romanesque bridge and Doria Castle, (painted by Monet when he stayed here in 1884), the characteristic "carugi" or narrow streets, restaurants and shops, Dolceacqua is a lovely place to spend wonderful moments in the company of family and friends, also perfect for a romantic getaway.
