The Prince and Princess were in the front row on Monday evening to attend the very first Michelin Guide France & Monaco ceremony held in the Principality.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n\n

This Monday, the Grimaldi Forum rolled out the red carpet and buzzed with excitement for the grand celebration of French gastronomy in the prestigious Salle des Princes. In front of 1,200 guests (chefs, journalists and industry professionals), Prince Albert II opened the evening with a speech praising this unique \u201csymbiosis\u201d between the Michelin Guide and Monaco, noting that the 2 km\u00b2 territory boasts an extraordinary concentration of stars. \u201cCooking is an art, one of the highest expressions of human culture,\u201d declared the Sovereign, before broadening the discussion to contemporary issues: \u201cThe world you envision, ladies and gentlemen chefs, encompasses the greatest challenges of our time: education, openness to others, the blending of cultures, human health, but also the health of our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The Sovereign also recalled the historical links between the Principality and the Red Guide, whose very first edition, in 1900, already mentioned three hotels in Monaco, including the H\u00f4tel de Paris. The latter had, in fact, hosted a unique Chefs\u2019 Dinner the previous evening, bringing together 110 two- and three-starred chefs for a menu created by Alain Ducasse at Louis XV, celebrating Mediterranean naturalness.<\/p>\n\n
