The historic relic, whose patron was Prince Honor\u00e9 III of Monaco in 1751, bears witness to the ancestral links between the Grimaldi dynasty and the region, having originally belonged to the chapel of Mesnil-C\u00e9ron, a former Grimaldi fiefdom, before being moved to Percy during the French Revolution.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"related\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.monaco-tribune.com\/en\/2025\/04\/monacos-princely-family-reconnects-with-historic-roots-in-brittany-and-normandy\/\">Monaco&#8217;s Princely Family reconnects with historic roots in Brittany and Normandy<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Keen to promote local crafts and produce, the Sovereign awarded four new &#8220;Grimaldi Historic Sites of Monaco&#8221; labels to local craftsmen and retailers, before inaugurating a certified producers&#8217; market. The friendly gathering gave him the opportunity to talk to the many residents and craftsmen in attendance, perpetuating the tradition of proximity that the Princely family holds dear.<\/p>\n\n<figure

id=\"h-entre-recueillement-et-memoire-a-torigny-les-villes\">Remembrance and contemplation in Torigny-les-Villes<\/h2>\n\n<p>In the afternoon the Prince headed to Torigny-les-Villes, where he was welcomed at the Ch\u00e2teau des Matignon &#8211; now the town hall &#8211; by the mayor, Micha\u00ebl Grandin. Emblematic of the Sovereign&#8217;s roots, the Ch\u00e2teau was the venue for a conference marking the publication of a book about Jacques III de Matignon, Count of Torigni (1644-1725), commemorating the 300th anniversary of his death.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Prince then went to Saint-Laurent church for a moment of contemplation. Several of his ancestors are buried there, embodying an unbroken link between past and present. His visit continued at the chapel of the former H\u00f4tel-Dieu, where he was able to appreciate the restoration work carried out thanks to his personal support.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-honorer-le-legs-social-d-honore-v-au-coeur-du-calvados\">Honouring the social legacy of Honor\u00e9 V in Calvados<\/h2>\n\n<p>Journey&#8217;s end was at Saint-Martin-des-Besaces in Calvados, where Prince Honor\u00e9 V of Monaco lived from 1823 to 1841, leaving a lasting legacy through his innovative system of agriculture and social assistance, which covered some forty towns and villages. His historic contribution is now commemorated by a street that bears his name.<\/p>\n\n<p>After a republican ceremony, Prince Albert II, along with Mayor Alain Declomesnil and Deputy Mayor \u00c9ric Martin, unveiled the official plaque indicating that the municipality is part of the network of Grimaldi Historic Sites. The symbolic gesture helps preserve the shared history between the Principality and parts of Normandy.<\/p>\n\n<p>Before concluding his visit, the Sovereign visited the Mus\u00e9e de la Perc\u00e9e du Bocage, a museum devoted to the D-Day Landings of 1944, providing a broader dimension of remembrance to his journey, from dynastic history to key events that shaped the Europe of today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historical heritage and dynastic symbols, ceremonies and cultural discoveries were the order of the day as the Monegasque Sovereign strengthened [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":286403,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1825,243,254],"tags":[2830],"post_sectags":[],"post_format":[2462],"class_list":["post-287148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-news","category-people-en","tag-prince-albert-ii-en-2","format-photos-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Prince Albert II continues Norman journey in ancestors&#039;
