Chloë Cassens
Chloë Cassens is the granddaughter of Séverin Wunderman, a Belgian-American philanthropist known for his significant donation of 1,800 works by Jean Cocteau to the city of Menton in 2005. Recently, she has been in the news advocating for the future of the Cocteau collection, which has faced challenges due to the prolonged closure of the Cocteau Museum since 2018. As a representative of the Wunderman family, she has expressed concerns about the city's compliance with the conditions of the donation, urging the local government to take action to ensure the collection is displayed in a manner that honors her grandfather's wishes.
