In the workshop of the Collection of Cars of H.S.H. the Prince of Monaco, a meticulous revision is currently in progress on a significant piece of royal automotive history: the Renault Floride presented in 1959 by the Régie Renault to Princess Grace.
Each engine in the atelier carries its own memory and history. The vehicle, a gift from Renault to the Princess Grace, is undergoing careful maintenance to preserve its legacy.
This Renault Floride forms part of the broader princely collection, which preserves vehicles of historical and sentimental importance to the Grimaldi family.
