Potential buyers could purchase 23 trees, dreamt up by designers and companies from the Principality. This year, to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and at the AIMC’s request, the trees were accompanied by various experiences. “For example, one tree offers a cookery class for four people at the Prince’s Palace with the Chef (Christian Garcia, Ed.)” Frédérique de Chambure, Secretary General of AIMC explained to Monaco Info. Anyone who bought one of the trees would therefore receive an extra gift.

Certainly the most impressive experience on offer was a two-day trip to the Arctic, accompanied by explorer Mike Horn. It was the partner experience for the tree presented by jewellers Zegg & Cerlati, which sold for 30,000 euros, the highest price of the evening.
