In Monaco-Ville, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, on Tuesday, presented the label of the Fédération des Sites Historiques Grimaldi de Monaco to the MFR of Percy-en-Normandie in recognition of its local brewing expertise and regional craftsmanship.
The label is intended to recognize communities that maintain historical links to the Grimaldi dynasty while promoting local traditions, initiatives, and cultural savoir-faire associated with those territories.
The Fédération des Sites historiques Grimaldi de Monaco brings together municipalities and historic sites connected to the centuries-long history of the Grimaldi dynasty beyond the Principality of Monaco’s borders, particularly in regions of France and Italy historically associated with the family.
The distinction awarded to Percy-en-Normandie acknowledged the community’s work surrounding locally produced beer and regional artisanal traditions.

His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco will visit Madrid, Spain, on June 1st through 2nd for a series of engagements marking the 150th anniversary of modern diplomatic relations between the Principality of Monaco and the Kingdom of Spain.
According to the Embassy of the Principality of Monaco in Spain, the Sovereign Prince will preside over the inauguration of the exhibition, Monaco y España: cinco siglos de historia compartida (Monaco et l’Espagne: cinq siècles d’histoire partagée),which will be presented at the Pabellón Villanueva within the Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid.
Organized by the Embassy of the Principality of Monaco, the exhibition explores five centuries of historical, cultural, and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Relations between the Principality of Monaco and the Kingdom of Spain date back to the early 16th century. In 1524, the Treaty of Burgos, signed by Honoré I of Monaco and Emperor Charles V of Spain, placed the Principality under Spanish protection and established a period of close political and dynastic relations between the Grimaldi dynasty and the Crown of Spain that endured for centuries through diplomatic, cultural, and royal exchanges.
Vanitatis journalist Ms. Nuria Tiburcio reported this afternoon that Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco will accompany the Sovereign Prince during the visit. If confirmed by the Palais Princier de Monaco, in the coming days, the visit would mark the Princess’s first official visit to the Kingdom of Spain since her marriage to the Sovereign Prince in 2011.
Prince Albert II has visited Spain on several occasions in recent years, including cultural and environmental engagements in Cantabria, Burgos, and Madrid.
