Jackson Family Foundation Group 

Michael Jackson's legacy lives on in Saint-Tropez. For more than thirty years, the Jackson Family Foundation Group has been continuing the humanitarian and artistic mission initiated by Michael Jackson and his family. Founded in 1992 in Las Vegas by Simon Sahouri, alongside Katherine and Joseph Jackson, the parents of the King of Pop, the foundation's goal is to promote the universal values of peace, solidarity, and culture that always inspired Michael Jackson. Today, under the vice-presidency of Laurent Ayrault, the foundation is setting up in the South of France, in Saint-Tropez, to spread a message of art and unity through an exceptional venue: the Jackson Legacy Experience. 

A universal cultural and human heritage

The Jackson Family Foundation Group works globally to support humanitarian, cultural, and educational projects. It draws inspiration from the spiritual journey of Michael Jackson, who was crowned Prince Amalaman in Ivory Coast—an honorary title he received during his trip to the land of his ancestors. “Michael Jackson was not only an exceptional artist, he was a messenger of love and peace. His voice continues to resonate through the foundation,” explains Laurent Ayrault, vice president of the group.

From Las Vegas to Saint-Tropez: a new chapter

After the United States and Ivory Coast, the foundation is putting down roots in Europe, with a strong presence in the Var region. The first floor of the Do You Tropez Art gallery, Legacy, is now dedicated to the Jackson Legacy Experience, an immersive space retracing the history and cultural impact of the Jackson family—from the Jackson 5 to Michael Jackson. Visitors can discover iconic objects, stage costumes, rare photographs, and art installations evoking the creative world of the King of Pop. From the staircase, a monumental fresco by Art'no, inspired by “Thriller,” immerses the public in an atmosphere vibrant with emotion and memories.

Art in the service of the heart

The foundation does not limit itself to celebrating a legacy: it takes concrete action to make the world a better place. By supporting educational initiatives and charitable projects, it embodies Michael Jackson's famous maxim: “Make the world a better place.” "Through the Jackson Family Foundation Group, we want to turn admiration into action. Art and generosity are one and the same," says Laurent Ayrault.

A symbolic project, combining emotion and commitment

The opening of the Jackson Legacy Experience in Saint-Tropez marks a major milestone for the foundation: that of a bridge between continents, between memory and the future. A place where music, culture, and kindness come together, in the purest spirit of the Jackson family.
