Prince Albert II makes Historic Visit to Haut-Rhin

As part of his frequent trips to territories historically linked to his family, HSH Prince Albert II visited the Haut-Rhin on Wednesday 20 October. Fifteen years after a first trip to Ferrette, in 2006 for the 900th anniversary of the county, the Sovereign once again visited this Alsatian village in order to inaugurate the ‘Re-Naissance’ museum space, located on the ground floor of town hall.

Welcomed by the sub-prefect of Altkirch, Amelle Ghayou, and mayor of the town, Corinne Rabault, the Prince was able to discover the history of Ferrette during an exhibition dedicated to the Mazarin. The links between Monaco and Ferrette date back to 1777, when future Prince Honoré IV of Monaco married Louise d’Aumont, heiress of Cardinal Mazarin, to whom the King of France Louis XIV had granted the county in 1659.

Welcomed in the town of Feldbach in the afternoon by Mayor Sylvie Renger, HSH the Prince concluded this trip to Sundgau, a region in southern Alsace at the crossroads of Switzerland and Germany, with a guided tour of the Saint-Jacques church, a Roman gem testifying to the existence of a Cluniac priory founded in 1145 by the Count of Ferrette, Frederick I.

€45,000 for Prince Albert II Foundation and Mediterranean Seals

Following the 2021 edition of Urban Painting Around the World (UPAW), Alberto Colman, organizer of the event, presented a large check to the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation for their work dedicated to Monk Seal Alliance initiative.

For the fifth consecutive year, the event brought several talented street artists to the Principality to raise funds for the Sovereign’s Foundation by auctioning their works of art. Eleven participating artists this year grabbed their spray cans and let their imaginations run wild around the theme “The planet and its colours”. €45,000 were raised to help with the foundation’s work in preserving the endangered mediterranean monk seal, a species that has all but disappeared in the last two decades. As of 2015, it is estimated that fewer than 700 individuals are in existence.
