Hello Monaco #12 Summer–Autumn 2021 | Page 4

LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

Dear Readers !

The long-awaited changes are finally taking effect . We can now breathe freely in the streets without wearing a mask . Restaurants and sports clubs are open . Theatres and cinema resumed their work : life is taking its usual course . Monaco is traditionally among the first countries to be lifting restrictions . Moreover , the Principality exacted a powerful revenge for missing out on last year . Three — yes three ! — motor races were held in Monaco within one month : the Historic Grand Prix , Formula E and Formula-1 . Bravo !

Olga Taran , Founder , Editor-in-Chief of HelloMonaco
Following these remarkable sports events , the Comedy Film Festival and the 60th Monte-Carlo Television Festival have also rolled out their red carpet in the Principality .
