Monaco’s Prince Honors Historic Links in Provence Visit

On Tuesday, September 30, Prince Albert II of Monaco undertook an official visit to Aix-en-Provence, invited by Mayor Sophie JOISSAINS. The journey highlighted the deep historical ties between the Grimaldi family and the city, with a special nod to Cardinal Jérôme Grimaldi’s legacy.

The itinerary included a ceremonial welcome and the dedication of a commemorative plaque, followed by a cathedral tour. A reception at the Musée Arbaud à l’Académie des sciences, agriculture, arts et belles-lettres d’Aix marked the prince’s recent appointment as an honorary member.

The visit concluded with cultural engagements, featuring a visit to l’Hôtel de Caumont for the « Niki de Saint Phalle - Le bestiaire magique » exhibition, a preview at Musée Granet, and a tour of the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan tied to the « Cézanne au Jas de Bouffan » exhibit, paying tribute to the region’s artistic and historical richness.
