And here too, Les Six was formed, creating music based on the ideas of Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau.

After World War I, Jean Cocteau and Les Six began to frequent a bar known as " La gaya " which became Le Bœuf sur le Toit ( The Ox on the Roof ) when the establishment moved to larger quarters and as the famous ballet by Milhaud had been conceived at the old premises, the new bar took on the name of Milhaud's ballet.

While it seems apparent that Cocteau was behind these articles, the actual name of the Group was selected by Collet, who decided to compare Les Six with the five Russians.

Cocteau had originally proposed the project to Auric, but as Auric did not finish rapidly enough to fit into the rehearsal schedule, he then divided the work up among the other members of Les Six.
