Monaco Town Hall mentions that the Parc Princess Antoinette, where the event will take place, will be closed to the public from 4 to 13 September inclusive.
Please note that the Cabanon des Jeux (the mini-golf snack bar) will stay open, except on 9 September, while the mini-golf course will be closed from 8 to 9 September inclusive. Entrance will be via the Boulevard de Belgique only.
The annual picnic is an opportunity for Monegasques to enjoy a relaxed moment together, with the Princely Family in attendance. Traditional dances, an open-air mass and local specialities are all part of the event, created in 1931 by Charles Bellando de Castro.
