For the 50th anniversary of Jean Cocteau's death, on October 11th 1963, the Palais-Royal gardens host an exhibition of photographs devoted to the artist. It describes the profound, unswerving links that exist between the moviemaker and this district where he used to live for around fifteen years, and which he said was "like a village for those who chose to live there".

Exhibition: "Jean Cocteau, a Poet at the Palais-Royal", from October 11th 2013 to January 12th 2014.
Free entrance, in the Palais-Royal gardens.
