A successful restoration?
In 2020, the Bastion has undergone an extensive restoration and you might argue whether you liked the look of the Bastion better before. Judge for yourself!

The small fort once housed a guard room, a kitchen and a powder magazine. The original oven in the kitchen can still be seen, as can Grimaldi’s coat of arms, which is located inside the museum.

The Bastion is today a very fine museum dedicated to Jean Cocteau and belongs to the Jean Cocteau Museum, which is just 100 meters away. Art and some maritime elements are presented on two floors.

The vaulted rooms with rustic stone create a special atmosphere, and the art stands out in an almost homely way.
