In Matignon, the family seat in the C\u00f4tes-d&#8217;Armor region, Prince Albert II, accompanied by Princess Charlene and their twins Jacques and Gabriella, was welcomed by the local dignitaries, including Prefect Fran\u00e7ois de Ker\u00e9ver and Mayor Jean-Ren\u00e9 Carfantan.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a stroll around the traditional market, a commemorative plaque was unveiled prior to an official ceremony at the Rainier III sports hall, a facility that was co-financed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/04\/prince-rainier-iii-the-builder-prince-who-transformed-monaco\/\">Prince Rainier III<\/a>.

stately home of the Goyon-Matignon family, whose keep dates from around 1350. On leaving Pl\u00e9venon, the Princely Family unveiled the plaque that officially recognises the site as a member of the network of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/tag\/grimaldi-sites\/\"><span style=\"color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\">Monaco&#8217;s Grimaldi Historic Sites<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: black;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-un-pont-culturel-entre-monaco-et-la-normandie\">A cultural bridge between Monaco and Normandy<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sovereign Prince then continued on his own to Normandy, inaugurating the Grimaldi Media Library in Moyon Villages, then being received in Saint-L\u00f4 by Jean Morin, President of the Manche Departmental Council. A highlight was the official publication of the Matignon collection from the Prince&#8217;s Palace Archives on the Manche Archives&#8217; website.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 10 April, the schedule includes visits to Percy-en-Normandie, where Honor\u00e9 III of Monaco was patron of a bell in 1751, then Torigny-les-Villes and its Matignon castle,  and ending at Saint-Martin-des-Besaces in Calvados, where Prince Honor\u00e9 V lived in the 19th century and developed an innovative agriculture and social assistance system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In keeping with the tradition of regular visits to areas with historic ties to the Grimaldi family, the journey served to strengthen the cultural and heritage bonds between the Principality and these French regions, and celebrate a shared history spanning over three centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Albert II, Princess
