On the menu: free concerts at the Square des Etats-Unis, guided tours “from one parvis to the other”, lectures, exhibition on the fate of the Turkish pianist Fazil Say, and even flash mobs! More impressive are the master classes of the Menton Academy in partnership with the prestigious Zahkar Bron School of Zurich and the presence of Mr. Zahkar Bron.

The Jean Cocteau Museum offers night-time entertainment before and after the festival: July 27, August 16 and August 24.
