History and the future came together as Prince Albert presided over the April 27th inauguration ceremony for the new site of the Francis d’Assise Nicole Barré school in Roqueville.

The 8-story building is a splendid ultramodern architectural statement designed by Monegasque architect Chérif Jahlan.
