What's new
Well, what fab weather we've returned to after our travels. Glad to see that the temporary shop pods have disappeared from Casino Gardens. Hopefully it won't be long before the plants are restored.
Since we've been away, many of the summer listings have been released and we're busy updating our site. The Note Bleue jazz festival opened yesterday evening and continues to the end of August. Many artists return year after year, and there's a variety of musical styles, all to be enjoyed whilst dining by the sea. Nice, grrreat, as Louis Balfour would say.
On the Rock, the Open Air Cinema opens tomorrow. Of the movies featuring in June, the most loved by the public is Avengers Endgame (8.8/10 according to IMDb). If, like us, you're not a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bohemian Rhapsody has the next highest popular rating (8/10), and A Star is Born is the most critically acclaimed (88/100). Both of these 2018 films return to Monaco for one night only.
