“Too Many Victims” – Monaco adopts New Law on Road Safety
The National council unanimously voted to pass Bill No. 1107, which aims to strengthen road safety, during a meeting on 6 November, 2025. The law includes deterrent measures for drivers, while also reinforcing the protection of traffic accident victims.
“No one can deny it. Road safety is a fundamental public policy issue concerning the preservation of human lives and the maintenance of public order. While the actions taken in recent years have certainly improved the overall situation regarding road accidents, it is clear that certain behaviours continue to cause serious, even fatal, accidents. The Principality of Monaco is not immune to this phenomenon, and recent events unfortunately highlight that fact,” said Cédric Braquetti, Secretary General of the National Council.
A Nation Watches: Hugo Micallef’s Bid for the IBF European Super-Lightweight Title
On December 6th, in the Salle des Étoiles Monaco’s star fighter returns for the ultimate test. Hugo Micallef, undefeated flag-bearer in professional boxing, will stride into the ring hunting history. At stake: the IBF European super lightweight title, a milestone that could anchor him among the continent’s elite.
Micallef, now 11-0 with 3 stoppages, has spent the early years of his career threading an unusual path. He is not a product of a bustling boxing mecca, nor a fighter raised in the chaos of giant gyms crowded with sparring partners. Instead, he carries the poise of an athlete shaped by small circles and precision work, a “Fresh Prince of Monaco” whose rise has been patiently engineered.
Herculis 2026 Siege of the Clock: Monaco’s Battle for the Next World Record
When the lights of Herculis EBS Meeting 2026 dance across the façade of the Stade Louis‑II in Monaco, the world of athletics will pause anticipating records.
The meeting has drawn fresh attention returning as the 10th leg of the Wanda Diamond League (on 10 July) with a programme of 16 disciplines, eight for women, eight for men.
For 2026, organisers have confirmed that on Saturday 10 July, the following events will take place for Women : 200 m · 400 m · 3000 m · 5000 m · 100 m hurdles · pole vault · triple jump and javelin.
For Men it will be 100 m · 400 m · 800 m · 3000 m · 5000 m · 3000 m steeplechase · high jump and long jump
It’s a programme built to thrill, from explosive sprints to endurance epics, from vertical vaults to athletic flights in the sandpit. But it also invites a question: what might the next wave of records look like?
The Breton Has Landed: Jean-Luc L’Hourre Drops Anchor (and Artichokes) in Monaco
Jean-Luc L’Hourre, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, multi-starred chef, and culinary globetrotter, has officially taken the helm of La Table d’Élise in Monaco. For this chef shaped by tides, terroirs, and technique, the move feels like a homecoming: back to flavour, precision, and the quiet discipline of creation.
During the “Pétanque des Toqués”, a lively gathering where chefs swap banter between lobs of boules, L’Hourre found himself chatting with the legendary Jacques Maximin. A CV sent to restaurateur Gilles Brunner, ten minutes of suspense, and a phone call later, fate had spoken. One month on, his knives are unpacked in Monaco and the stove is once again calling his name.
