Want to explore the region during this Night of Museums 2026? Head to Monthyon in Seine-et-Marne to discover the Domaine Jean-Claude Brialy this Saturday, May 23, 2026.

Romy Schneider, François Truffaut, Jean Marais, Isabelle Adjani, Barbara... This hidden house in Seine-et-Marne, not far from Meaux, welcomed the biggest cinema stars of the second half of the 20th century. The Domaine Jean-Claude Brialy belonged to the actor of the same name, a true icon of his era.

A key player in the Nouvelle Vague and a dandy of the 7th art, the artist renovated the château to create an exceptional estate, which can now be visited on a guided tour when the weather is fine.

What if we take advantage of the Nuit des Musées to discover this estate in Monthyon? On Saturday, May 23, 2026, we’re heading to Seine-et-Marne to explore the former home of actor Jean-Claude Brialy. This place steeped in stories, big and small, should delight cinema enthusiasts as well as heritage lovers.

We've decided to take advantage of the Nuit des Musées, a major cultural celebration, to make some discoveries! While you're waiting for this artistic evening, take a look at the activities planned for this annual event.

What’s on the agenda for this 2026 Night of Museums at the Domaine Jean-Claude Brialy:
