The chapel Saint Pierre by fishermen dite "Chapelle Cocteau"

This is a romantic little chapel of fishermen on the port of Villefranche-sur-Mer which was entirely decorated in 1956 by Jean Cocteau.

It is the story of a former Gothic Chapel, abandoned, or almost, who fell asleep on the docks in the village of Villefrnache - sea, only used by fishermen to store their nets.
And Jean Cocteau spent there! or rather stopped there.
In 1957, after negotiations with the fishermen, Cocteau poses his brushes and his inspiration in this humble chapel Saint Pierre, and will put three years to cover the monumental frescoes, by projecting his drawings on the walls, adding one day a rooster, another, a face... There are religious themes evoking the Apostle and also most popular themes such as the tribute to Saintes-Maries of the sea Gypsies.
