The Gendarmerie and Cinema Museum invites you to discover the history of this building which, before becoming an emblematic place following the filming of gendarmes' films, housed the St-Tropez brigade from 1879 to 2003.
The visit continues with an explanation of the representation of the gendarme in films and then an introduction to the history of cinema in Saint-Tropez. This museum space reveals the many films shot on the Var peninsula as well as the different professions related to cinema. You then take the road to the holidays to explore the myth and reality of Saint-Tropez through cinema. On the ground floor, the museum has a temporary exhibition room.
On the 1st floor, the public will be able to discover the exact reconstruction of the offices of the Saint-Tropez gendarmerie, with the gendarmes' lockers and the color codes reproduced identically. The evolution of the gendarmerie corps since the XNUMXth century is also evoked, with archive pieces dedicated to the creation of the gendarmerie, service weapons of the time and, of course, cinematographic reminders.
As an extension of this exhibition, we find a cinema hall from the 50s with artist dedications, a life-size bronze sculpture by Louis de Funès, before arriving at a cinema room where film extracts and artist interviews are shown.
The next floor also has its share of surprises: a reconstruction of the Nationale 7, a space dedicated to the world of culture and partying from the 50s to today, and finally a discovery of Brigitte Bardot and Romy Schneider's dressing rooms. A great way to end... in style!
On the ground floor, the museum visit opens onto a space dedicated to temporary exhibitions.
The Museum has the Tourism and Disability Label mark and has equipment adapted to accommodate people with specific needs.
(access for wheelchair users, the visually impaired and the hearing impaired).
