About the location

Maison Jean Cocteau

15 rue du Lau, 91490 Milly-la-Forêt

Essonne

Île-de-France

The house in Milly-la-Forêt that Jean Cocteau acquired in 1947 and lived in until his death in 1963 has been managed by the Île-de-France region since September 11, 2019. It holds the "Maison des Illustres" (House of Illustrious Figures) label awarded by the Ministry of Culture. Following Cocteau's death, the property belonged to his adopted son, Edouard Dermit, and subsequently to the Maison Cocteau association, which acquired it thanks to the patronage of Pierre Bergé and contributions from local authorities. The association restored the house and opened it to the public in 2010. A novelist, filmmaker, poet, playwright, and illustrator—a truly multifaceted artist—Jean Cocteau left an indelible mark on the history of 20th-century art. An incredibly prolific artist who worked right up until his death, he was friends with all the giants of the century, from Proust to Picasso. In Milly, following the filming of *Beauty and the Beast*, he found a refuge far from the bustle of Paris; there, he created a world for himself and his friends that reflected his own nature: eclectic, mysterious, and poetic. Preserving this house and making this 20th-century artist's contribution even more accessible fosters a deeper understanding of the richness and uniqueness of Jean Cocteau.
