In Monte-Carlo, flowers grow and the streets glow

They didn’t go unnoticed: the elegant rosehip blossoms bloomed on the Place du Casino and throughout the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Resort. Designed by artist Céline Pagès, who “scattered Monte-Carlo with poetry,” these gigantic brass flowers, 2 to 3.5 metres tall, are adorned with powder pink, gold, sea green, ivory, and bright pink. These superb structures seek “the purity of form and the energy of the flower,” while respecting the environment. All materials used by the artists are completely non-polluting and will be recycled. On display until the end of August.
