The Frères Prévert Café is an emblematic space in the museum, full of history. In 1951, the brothers Jacques and Pierre Prévert opened a cabaret on the ground floor of what is now the Maillol Museum: the Quatres-Saisons fountain./p>

Boris Vian, a regular there, created Le Déserteur; Francis Blanche presented his sketches; the Frères Jacques performed there; Yves Montand sang Prévert’s poems set to music by Kosma. A plethora of young artists made their debut there: Maurice Béjart, Guy Bedos, Pierre Perret, Jean Yanne, Philippe Clay, Jacques Dufilho…

The artists’ dressing rooms and the kitchen were located in the vaulted cellars that today house the Frères Prévert Café

During the installation of the museum in the 1990s, Dina Vierny, with the help of architect Pierre Devinoy, restored the basements to their original size to accommodate the restaurant and in 2015, interior designer Didier Benderli redesigned the Frères Prévert Café to give it an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.
