La Salle des Mariages

Reviewed By 267helip - Helsinki, Finland

Besides the murals all other decoration is also by the multitalented artist - red velvet chairs, metal lamps resembling flowers, leopard carpet and the obligatory Marianne in all French wedding halls, this one a young Brigitte Bardot reflecting endlessly on opposite mirrors. There is a taped English language introduction giving the basic facts, but the live French presentation every Thursday costing 4 euros has all the juicy parts. After redesigning the Mayors office in the building formerly functioning as a casino Cocteau was asked to do the wedding hall but refused instantly. He only changed his mind when his former lover, legally known as his adopted son fell in love with a woman and wanted to marry her. The characters in the murals depict all the strong feelings this caused.
