Monaco Weekly News by NEWS.MC - ep 46

This week on NEWS.MC TV, we bring you the latest from the
Principality, where tradition, culture, and diplomacy have taken
centre stage in a week packed with celebration and reflection.





Down by the seafront, Monaco’s Larvotto district is buzzing with
new life thanks to Le Petit Marché du Larvotto, a weekly market
launched on Thursday, July 17th. Offering fresh produce,
artisanal goods, and a warm community vibe, the initiative
promises to become a new staple for locals and visitors alike.





Saturday, July 19th marked a major moment in Monegasque history,
as the Principality honoured two decades of reign by HSH Prince
Albert II. Nearly 6,000 citizens filled the Place du Palais to
pay tribute to the Sovereign, whose reign has been defined by
environmental leadership, international diplomacy, and a deep
connection to Monaco’s traditions.





That same day, Prince Albert continued to champion Monaco’s
cultural vitality with a visit to the Nouveau Musée National de
Monaco, where The Roaring Twenties of Coco Chanel is now on
display at Villa Paloma. The exhibition explores Chanel’s impact
on Riviera glamour and the evolution of modern femininity,
offering rare insight into a pivotal era in fashion and art.





Speaking of art, the Monaco Master Show has taken over the Opera
Gallery in spectacular fashion. Coinciding with Monaco Art Week,
this summer’s major exhibition honours Marc Chagall and Fernand
Léger with more than 40 pieces on display — marking 40 years
since Chagall’s death and 70 since Léger’s, and reminding
visitors why both remain icons of 20th-century art.





On the political front, Monaco welcomed a new face in high
office. Christophe Mirmand was officially sworn in as Minister of
State on Monday, July 21st, in a formal ceremony at the Prince’s
Palace attended by both HSH Prince Albert II and Princess
Charlène. His appointment signals continuity and a renewed focus
on public administration at the highest level.





Parliamentary diplomacy also took the spotlight, as National
Council President Thomas Brezzo received Carles Enseñat Reig,
General Trustee of the Andorran General Council, and his
delegation for a three-day visit beginning July 22nd. The two
countries reaffirmed their strong parliamentary ties, with
discussions focused on collaborative governance and legislative
exchange.





Infrastructure met innovation this week as HSH Prince Albert II
inaugurated Espace Honoré II, a newly centralised government hub
designed to streamline public services by housing nine
departments under one roof. The modern facility represents a
significant leap forward in Monaco’s administrative efficiency
and citizen experience.





In this week’s exclusive interview, NEWS.MC TV sits down with
Gilles Dyan, Chairman and Founder of Opera Gallery. Dyan
discusses the vision behind the Monaco Master Show, the enduring
influence of Chagall and Léger, and the gallery’s role in shaping
Monaco as a global art destination.
