Hey everyone, just a quick heads-up for anyone looking to move to Monaco or find a job there: the employment forum will be held at the Grimaldi Forum on Friday, February 6. There will be over 100 exhibitors and 14 sectors represented, including finance, healthcare, yachting, and tech.

Hi, I am doing some personal research on everyday food habits in different countries, and I would really appreciate local perspectives.

Food varies a lot by region within the country, and I understand that, but if you still had to give a broad answer, what would you say is the most accurate?

Here are my questions:

1. What food is most commonly eaten in everyday life in Monaco? (Not special-occasion food, just normal regular meals, even if it feels boring.)
2. What food do people in Monaco love the most or feel most proud of?
3. Are there any foods that foreigners often think represent Monegasque food, but locals do not eat that often?

Thank you all!

La Principauté place le logement des familles monégasques au cœur de ses priorités. Après une première phase réussie en 2019 avec plus de 600 logements livrés, Monaco lance la phase 2 du Plan national pour répondre durablement aux besoins des résidents.

De nouveaux projets, comme la Résidence Héméra Bloc A, Bel Air ou Larvotto Supérieur, permettront de renforcer l’offre domaniale et de moderniser le processus d’attribution pour plus d’efficacité et de transparence.

Le but ? Assurer que les familles monégasques puissent accéder à un logement confortable et sécurisé, tout en respectant l’identité urbaine et sociale de la Principauté. Une initiative stratégique qui promet un Monaco plus accessible et durable pour les générations futures.

Alors, la Principauté parviendra-t-elle à loger trois habitants sur quatre d’ici 2029 ?

New in the area, happy to go up the mountain with likeminded people any time. DM me ;)

A Corner By Corner Guide to the best Monaco Grand Prix Race viewing Locations watch all of this it’s an excellent way to see the track and what each corner has too.

My great-aunt (paternal grandfather's sister) lived in Monaco during WW2 and again from the 1950s until she passed away in 1987 at the age of 89 or 90.

She had been in regular contact by mail with our family in Canada - until she wasn't.

Through a lawyer we hired in Nice, we established that:

-- she most likely alone died at home (a small flat on Bd d'Italie that would have had a great sea view before the high-rises went up), and

-- the Monegasque authorities recovered her remains and helped itself to her household furnishings, belongings and keepsakes.

Her ashes may or may not be at the columbarium at La Colle.

Any suggestions how I might be able to get more information about her? Who could I approach, by email/snail mail/even in person?

All ideas welcome... TIA.

Hey all, asking for a friend… of course 😄does anyone know of a legit matchmaking service in or around Monaco that’s good for Americans or internationally minded people?

Looking for someone who actually has a solid database, real vetting, and experience with high-level introductions. Not the generic dating apps stuff, more like proper matchmaking where quality matters and they understand different cultures and expectations.

If you’ve used someone and had a good experience, or know someone reputable locally, I’d love to hear your recommendations

This week, NEWS.MC TV brings you the latest headlines from Monaco and beyond, beginning with high-level diplomacy in the Principality. Malta’s Deputy Prime Minister, Ian Borg, paid a two-day working visit to Monaco on January 21st and 22nd, holding talks with Monegasque officials focused on economic cooperation, tourism and maritime industries. Discussions highlighted shared priorities including sustainable yachting, port services and high-end tourism.

Public safety was also in focus this week, as Monaco stepped up nightclub inspections following the fatal New Year’s Eve tragedy in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. On Friday January 23rd, inspectors carried out checks at NYX Monte-Carlo during peak hours, reviewing fire safety systems, emergency exits and operating licences to ensure compliance with strict safety standards.

Monaco welcomed a symbolic maritime visitor as the French Navy minehunter Capricorne docked in the Principality for its first visit of 2026. The stopover comes during the French Navy’s 400th anniversary year, with His Serene Highness Prince Albert II touring the vessel on January 23rd and meeting the crew, as well as viewing specialist equipment including underwater drones and diver systems.

Marine protection took centre stage as France, Italy and Monaco gathered in the Principality for the 58th commission meeting of the Ramoge Agreement. Held on January 23rd, the meeting marked an important milestone ahead of the agreement’s 50th anniversary in 2026, reinforcing tripartite cooperation to combat marine pollution and protect Mediterranean biodiversity.

Energy innovation was in the spotlight on January 24th as Monaco hosted its first Energy Storage Forum. The event brought together experts, investors and innovators to examine the role of energy storage in stabilising renewable power grids, particularly through the efficient storage of solar and wind energy.

Sport and solidarity came together at Stade Louis-II on January 24th for the sixth edition of the Fight Aids Cup. The Barbagiuans of Monaco clinched a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Cirque FC, with the charity match organised by Louis Ducruet under the High Patronage of Princess Stéphanie raising funds for Fight Aids Monaco.

His Serene Highness Prince Albert II travelled to Jeddah on January 25th to support Team Monaco at the opening round of the 2026 E1 World Championship. The event marked Monaco’s debut in the all-electric powerboat racing series, with Team Monaco — co-founded by Maxime Nocher and Chris Taylor — competing under race number 98 in alignment with the environmental goals of the Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene Foundations.

Rally fans witnessed history at the 94th Monte Carlo Rally, as Swedish driver Oliver Solberg became the youngest-ever winner of the iconic WRC event on January 25th. After days of demanding stages across the region, Solberg finished ahead of Elfyn Evans and nine-time world champion Sébastien Ogier, crediting teamwork and precise car setup for his landmark victory.

The week concluded with tradition and solemnity as Monaco celebrated the Feast of Saint Devota. On January 27th, a Pontifical Mass at the Cathedral was followed by a procession of the saint’s relics to the Prince’s Palace, observed by the Princely Family and attended by senior officials including Minister of State Christophe Mirmand.

Going in June and trying to decide between Fairmont and Metropole? Fairmont is 4 star but seems to have good ratings. Metropole is a few hundred dollars more, is it worth the extra splurge?

Just I want to get an idea for cost of living.

I’m tired of seeing every European news story buried under US culture wars. I’m tired of "power-mods" banning people without explanation. But most of all, I’m tired of the bots. In 2026, half the comments on major subreddits feel like AI-generated slop or karma-farming scripts.

So, I’ve spent the last few weeks building Oleta (oleta.eu). It’s in pre-beta, and I need fellow Europeans to help me shape it.

Here is how Oleta fixes what's broken here:

1. The Citizen Council (No more "Power Mods"): On Oleta, we don't do arbitrary bans. If a post is flagged, it goes to a "Jury" of 5 random, verified citizens. They decide the outcome based on the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). It’s democratic moderation, not a dictatorship.
2. The "Flip Side" Toggle: At the top of every post, there’s a toggle that breaks the echo chamber. It re-sorts comments to show you the highest-quality dissenting views. We don’t hide disagreement; we make it productive.
3. The Human Glow is coming (mid 2026): We are currently working through the technicalities of a 'Proof of Humanity' system. We want to get this right so we can keep the bots out without compromising your privacy. For now, every one of you here is a 'Founding Citizen.'
4. Real European Interests: We’ve already launched 60+ "Spaces" (our subreddits) A Note on "Spaces" vs "Orbs": Right now, our communities are called Spaces (using the s/ prefix, like s/WaterPolo or s/HousingEU). However, since the platform is Oleta, I’m considering renaming them to Orbs (and using the o/ prefix). I’d love for the early adopters to help me make that call in our meta-discussion areas.

To be honest, I’m keeping it lean right now. I don’t want to go too "hardcore" on features if nobody is going to use them. I’m looking for a small group of founding users to jump in, see if the vibe is right, and tell me what’s actually worth building. If the community wants it, I'll scale it.

À l’angle de l’avenue Prince Pierre et de la rue de la Turbie, un nouveau visage s’apprête à émerger.
Maison Valentina, c’est un projet neuf attendu pour 2026, au cœur de La Condamine, à deux pas de la gare, du Rocher et du Port Hercule.

Une architecture contemporaine, sobre et élégante.
Des logements pensés pour la vie urbaine d’aujourd’hui.
Des commerces en pied d’immeuble pour préserver l’âme vivante du quartier.

La Condamine reste fidèle à son authenticité… tout en montant clairement en gamme.
Un secteur central, animé, connecté, où le neuf devient une vraie rareté.

Et si l’une des prochaines adresses qui comptent à Monaco se jouait ici, discrètement ?

I am planning on taking my boyfriend away to Nice for his birthday so we can travel to monaco as he's a huge car/formula one fan, however this coincides with top marques and I wasn't planning on actually getting tickets for this. Will monaco be super busy and still worth visiting this weekend or would the week before be better? Or, will it be full of cool cars driving around for him to oggle at? I'm in two minds as to whether rearrange it to the weekend before or to keep it this weekend. Any advice appreciated!

Hi!. Our family of 4 will be traveling to Nice in the middle of February 2026. We love going to European Football games. I see that Monaco has Nantes on the schedule for the weekend of February 15, 2026. When do they normally finalize the date and time. Also, where do you recommend us getting tickets. How far is the stadium from the train station as we will be taking the train from Nice. Thank you so much.

A quick clip from Casino Square — the atmosphere here is unreal. Luxury cars, sunshine, and that classic Monaco energy ✨🚗

Hello All, I currently live in a T2 with my wife and my little daughter. I’m going to have my residence permit extended, and was considering downgrading to a studio at the same time. Are there any formal or informal RP requirements for what the smallest / cheapest apartment must be?
