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.Subscribe to our free daily newsletter: https://news.mc/newsletterFollow us on Xhttps://x.com/monacodailynewsProduced in association with  @MonacoInfo  Copyright © 2025 NEWS SARL.
