What's new

The sun has made a welcome return and brought along a hint of springtime too.

The new Michelin red guide was published last weekend and we were pleased to see that Monaco restaurants have retained their stars from 2016. In the wider Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur (PACA) region, nine establishments have been awarded a first star, three of which are within driving distance of the Principality. Closest is Le Saint Martin in Vence, and further afield are L'Olivier in La Bastide de St Tropez, and Le Jardin de Benjamin at Chateau de Berne in Lorgues.

Monaco is currently playing piggy-in-the-middle, with Menton celebrating lemons to the east, and Nice throwing a Carnaval to the west, but if you're staying in the Principality this weekend, there are two events of note. First, for petrol-heads, the Salon International de l'Automobile provides opportunities to test drive manufacturers' latest models, and second, Monaco Anime Game International Conference is a must for fans of video games, pop culture and cosplay. Enjoy!
