The celebration of Prince Rainier III’s centenary continues. The Rainier III Committee has created a unique flag for the occasion, which the Principality’s inhabitants will be able to use to decorate the streets and public buildings. There are four sales outlets for the flags:

  • the Souvenir Shop, Place du Palais Princier
  • Bazar Picco, 22 avenue Saint-Charles
  • Brico Center, 4-6 avenue Albert II
  • au Khédive, 9 boulevard Albert Ier
