MENTON.- Jean Cocteau first visited, and fell in love with, Menton while staying with his friend Francine Weissweiller in Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat, in the summer of 1955. He would return to the town on a regular basis. In 1956, at the mayor’s request, he began painting a huge fresco in the Town Hall’s Wedding Room, completing the work in 1958. He was subsequently declared an honorary citizen of Menton. While out walking one day, Cocteau came upon the Bastion, an abandoned seventeenth-century fort, built into the jetty. He decided he would transform it into a setting for his work, designing its interior himself. The Bastion Museum opened in 1966, three years after Cocteau’s death. It is still home to some of his “Mediterranean” works from the period 1950 to 1963. Born in Belgium in 1938 and exiled to the United States during the Second World War, Severin Wunderman made his career in luxury watches. An art lover
