Weekend in Monaco with #hello_monaco
It’s already Friday! It’s time to put work aside and do something fun with your family and friends. And it looks like it’s going to be quite an athletic weekend in Monaco.
Though AS Monaco’s incredible adventure in this season’s Champions League is over, the Red & Whites have made it into Europe’s top four and will now look to clinch the French league title, as they prepare to host Lille at the Stade Louis-II on Sunday evening. The match is scheduled for 14 May at 21.00 at Stade Louis II.
AS Monaco and Nancy are playing in PRO A Basketball Championship on Saturday 13 May at 7.00 pm in Stade Louis II – Salle Omnisports Gaston Médecin.
Started last weekend and to be completed this Saturday in the Bay of Monaco, 470 European Champions (Olympic two-handed sailing dinghy) organised by the Monaco Yacht Club promisses a lot to look at.
Open to European and non-European teams, the Championship is the biggest event aside from the 470 World Championships in 2017.
A strong fleet of Olympians and elite racers are competing alongside some younger and newer teams in this post-Olympic year. The European Championship title will be awarded to the top placed European teams, with prizes to the non-European teams.
And of cause the event, that all the Principality was getting ready for… is the the 2nd edition of the Monaco ePrix will take place on 13th May 2017. The Monegasque race is the round five of the Formula E’s calendar. This series remains the only 100% electric single-seaters championship in the world.
Started two years ago with the aim to promoting clean mobility technologies, Formula E is still today the only championship in the world in which 100% electric cars compete against each other on a race track. The series is booming since its debut and offers a sensational show to all fan of motorsport. To buy tickets online visit the Automobile Club of Monaco website.
The next event is for kids: on Sunday 14 May, Stade Louis-II will take place the IV International Youth Rugby Tournament, organised by A.S. Monaco Rugby.
Created in 2014 with the support of The Princess Charlene Foundation of Monaco, the tournament is hosting French and foreign teams in the Principality, within the Stadium Louis-II. More than 500 children are expected this year, in categories M8 to M12. This edition promises to be exciting for the young players of AS Monaco Rugby, with the arrival of clubs of the Top 14 but also teams of the Committee Côte d’Azur whose qualities and the desire to make a good appearence in the Principality are known. 12 teams will take part in the tournament and the Scottish club Melrose, home of rugby Sevens, will meet our M14 players in a gala match.

Another event for kids 6 years and older is a show “Touh” by and with J. Chartier and L. Bartolini on Saturday 13 May, at 6 pm and 9 pm and Sunday 14 at 4.30 pm in Théâtre des Muses.
Follow the footsteps of one of the greatest archaeological mysteries of history, that of Emperor Touh. Several historical facts leave researchers perplexed. Why Antarctica appears on a map 200 years before its discovery? What hide the 3000 pyramids found in the Egyptian desert thanks to the Internet? Did Leonardo da Vinci place a secret in his painting of “Saint John the Baptist”? This is what Ema and her brother will discover in spite of themselves.
Before dying, their father leaves them a notebook, proof of the existence of this secret but obviously, they are not the only ones to be interested. Pursued, they embark on a fabulous treasure hunt in the four corners of the globe, solving the puzzles in search of Emperor Touh. A frantic and perilous journey, a true adventure film! Tickets are available at €16-€29.
There is no reason why only humans should take advantage of massages and treatments. And that is why Sunday May 14th, will be dedicated to the welfare of animals. This 9th edition of Stars’n’Bars Eco Sundays will be punctuated by conferences that will allow you to know everything about canine massage, education, animal telepathy, first aid, energy work and associations operating in the region.
These professionals will be there to pass on their passion and knowledge and help you better understand the needs of man’s best friend. This event is free and there is no need to sign up in advance.
And one more significant event this weekend is the Monaco Charity Film Festival is a yearly Charity Event held in Monaco for the benefit of the poor children around the world. The Charity Event will be for the benefit of the children of the Virlanie Foundation in the Philippines.
