    I saw a couple leaving the Church 20 minutes before closing. I ran back to my AirBNB to get money for a donation, returned with 15 minutes before closing, and the woman inside told me she was closed. Despite asking, then pleading to let me just look for a quick minute, she refused. She said I could come back another day. I explained to her that it was my last day in France and I would be 6000 miles away - back in Los Angeles - before then. She said no. She was so rude from the moment she saw me come in - and I came in with a beaming smile. What is the world coming to if this is what happens inside a church.

    Frankly, it's not worth spending 4€pp for a small church with chalk frescos and a lady barking at you. "No photo." Might be my artistic taste is not the finest, but for sure, I do not tolerate such arrogance from a host that just received our money. It is better to spend the money on the nearby cafés.

    Very nice place to walk and visit while visiting the Dock. Some really colourful exhibitions and a good stroll up a hill and to the Fort. A meeting point for excursions to Monaco 🇲🇨 and Nice before going back to a boat. They're is a figurine museum, an art museum and a historical museum from the era of the second world War. There were also public toilet at the top of the hill. Also some public turrets to look out from to see the view of the sea.

    Extremely unfriendly lady at the entrance. She has unfortunately too much success and forgot how to treat people nicely. What a shame - for sure not the fault of Jean Cocteau

    Beautiful chapelle, although they don't allow to take any pictures and the entrance is 4 euros!

  • 5/5 jj g. 9 months ago on Google
    I love this place… the best 3€ you’ll spend on the French Riviera. This former fishermen’s chapel right on the bay was decorated top to bottom, every square inch, by artist and playwright Jean Cocteau. The entire interior is a unique work of art, rendered in Cocteau’s familiar style. It’s quite small, so it won’t take you long to enjoy it.

    For Cocteau enthusiasts it a must. Also this chapel was featured in Emily in Paris show, but was presented as a place in Saint Tropes(!). Very tiny chapel, not much information inside, so get your Google knowledge first. Tiny part of the Villefranch town is very pleasant for a walk or a drink on a pier. Combine your visit with Cocteau villa or citadel and would have a great time.

    So beautiful inside, mesmerising... open until 6pm. Strictly no photos inside. Entry fee is €3. Small space but totally worth a visit.

👍👍 I have visited many museums on Cote D'Azur (Matisse, Chagall (Nice), Picasso (Antibes) and this one of Volti has been by far the best. Small, intimate, with so much beauty and in a beautiful setting. Plus entrance free. Thank you!
