On Tuesday, September 30, H.S.H. Prince Albert was on an official visit to Aix-en-Provence, at the invitation of Mayor Sophie JOISSAINS.
The day highlighted the historical ties between the Grimaldi family and the city, particularly through the figure of Cardinal Jérôme Grimaldi.
The program included a welcome ceremony, the unveiling of a commemorative plaque, a visit to the cathedral, and a reception at the Arbaud Museum at the Academy of Sciences, Agriculture, Arts, and Letters of Aix, of which the Sovereign has become an honorary member.
The day continued with cultural visits to the Hôtel de Caumont for the exhibition "Niki de Saint Phalle - Le bestiaire magique“ (Niki de Saint Phalle - The Magical Bestiary), for which the Prince has loaned a work; the Musée Granet; and the Bastide du Jas de Bouffan for the current exhibition ”Cézanne au Jas de Bouffan" (Cézanne at the Jas de Bouffan), celebrating art and history.
