What's new

Congratulations to Charles Leclerc who finished a respectable 4th in last weekend's Azerbaijahn GP.

Music

Faada Freddy is performing for Fete de la Musique on 21 June, however there aren't many free tickets available. Monegasques get first dibs, then residents.

Monte Carlo Opera has announced the schedule for 2021-22. Big name performers include Angela Gheorghiu, Placido Domingo, Bryn Terfel, and Cecilia Bartoli in Rossini's Il Turco in Italia.

Eating out

And finally...

Travel restrictions to Italy have eased, and as long as your trip is less than 24 hours and under 60km from your residence, there's no need for a PCR test. So if you live in Monaco, treat yourself to lunch in San Remo, Dolceacqua or Seborga this weekend. Enjoy!
