How to Celebrate Earth Hour in Monaco

In a few short years, ‘Earth Hour’ has become a global event. Organized since 2007 by the WWF, Earth Hour consists of cutting the lights and disconnecting non-essential electrical devices for one hour on 24 March at 8:30 pm local time, in order to promote saving electricity and the reduction of greenhouse gases.

In Monaco, many hotels and restaurants will be joining in this year. The Fairmont Monte Carlo, for example, is one of the first establishments to organize events as part of Earth Hour. This year, the Saphir 24 restaurant will be offering a special menu to enjoy while listening to the sound of acoustic music by Luciano’s Trio.

A true ode to nature in 6 dishes, cooked around two seasonal products: a vegetable from the Terre de Monaco urban vegetable garden and a fish recommended by sustainable fishing organization Mr. Goodfish. To cook the meals, the chef will be using a period technique from his grandmother which uses charcoal.
