Monaco Princely Family visit to Les Baux-de-Provence

Overview

On September 5, 2026, the Monegasque Princely Family, including Prince Albert II, Princess Charlene, and their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, visited Les Baux-de-Provence.

The visit served to commemorate historical ties between the House of Grimaldi and the Provençal village, stemming from the 17th-century Treaty of Péronne. Under this treaty, the lordship of Les Baux was elevated to a marquisate in 1642 and assigned to Hercule Grimaldi, establishing a tradition where the heir to the Monegasque throne holds the title ‘Marquis des Baux’.

During the visit, the family participated in official programs, including a falconry demonstration and walking through the village streets. Prince Jacques, who has held the title since his birth in 2014, officially received the keys to the village and a sword during a ceremony at the ancient castle.
