The energy transition at the heart of the concerns of the Prince’s Government
The Minister of State spoke at a breakfast with the press, about the Prince’s Government’s policy on energy transition.
He was surrounded by Marie-Pierre Gramaglia, Government Counselor-Minister of Equipment, Environment and Urbanism, and Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux, Director of the Mission for the Energy Transition (MTE).
Serge Telle spoke about the issues relating to climate change: “They are extraordinarily difficult to grasp, the commitment must be both individual and societal, and the National Pact gives the people and businesses the ability to contribute, to their MTE’s role is to coordinate all public policies, because there is no political decision that has no impact on ecology. Your mission, Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux, is to make coherent, at the national level, the commitments that the Sovereign takes on the international level.”
Marie-Pierre Gramaglia then recalled the main thrusts of her biodiversity policy and the significant actions put in place by the MTE: “It is vital that we succeed, together, in our energy transition for a better quality of life in the Principality, an economic development compatible with the planetary limits and a responsible inheritance to our children.”
Finally, Annabelle Jaeger-Seydoux recalled the objectives of the MTE and said: “We must accelerate the potentials and, for that, the digital and the Interministerial Delegation for the Digital Transition, with which we work in close association, will help us. digital and energetic transitions are convergent.”

Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer awarded 7th Michelin star
Le Grill, headed by Executive Chef of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo Franck Cerutti, has been awarded its first Michelin star, just 18 months after the reopening of the restaurant.
The star joins the other six Michelin stars already won by four gastronomic restaurants of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer – now the resort with the highest number of stars in Europe.
One of the most elegant and lively venues in the Principality of Monaco, Le Grill is on the eighth floor of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. With breath-taking views of the Mediterranean and the Principality, Le Grill features marineinspired décor, high-quality cuisine and a convertible roof that offer guests the wonderful experience and pleasure of dining under the stars.
Executive Chef Franck Cerutti sums up his vision of the restaurant in two words: marine and Mediterranean. The wood-fired rotisserie where meat and fish are slowly cooked is the soul of the restaurant. Guests can expect the grand tradition of Mediterranean cuisine including pasta, pasta casarecce (homemade), clams, calamari and shellfish, ravioli pasqualina and risotto, inspired by Liguria or Tuscany. Food lovers will also be delighted to see the famous soufflés on the menu. Pastry Chef Olivier Berger has created new soufflé flavours including chocolate from Alain Ducasse in Paris and revisited classic recipes such as Grand Marnier or vanilla soufflé.
Patrice Frank, Head Sommelier, has chosen the best vintage wines from Provence to Tuscany. Guests can expect over 700 wines to choose from on Le Grill’s wine menu, taken from the cellar of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo – one of the largest wine cellars in the world.

Alongside this, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer plays host to prestigious events including the Sporting Summer Festival and the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival.
This 7th Michelin star is the result of the resort’s fresh transformation which has taken place over the past four years.

Didier Boidin, Managing Director of Hotel Operations and Purchasing for Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer said, “Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer is particularly proud today. Thanks to this new Michelin star, the resort is now the number one in Europe. Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer was a forerunner with the first hotel restaurant to have three stars. Our resort intends to pursue its transformations in the future and continue to evolve to have its different activities recognised all over the world for their unique excellence.”

The restaurant became the first hotel restaurant to receive 3 Michelin stars, the highest distinction of the Guide Michelin.
After the Michelin-starred Blue Bay by Marcel Ravin, the Michelin-starred Vistamar by Benoit Witz and the Elsa by Paolo Sari, also Michelin-starred, Le Grill, orchestrated by Franck Cerutti, has now obtained its 1st Michelin star and thus offers the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Resort the highest distinction in Europe with 7 stars.
Franck Cerutti, Executive Chef of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo Franck began his career with Jacques Maximin at the Négresco (Nice) in 1978, before becoming second chef at Enoteca Pinchiorri (Florence). His meeting with Alain Ducasse in 1980 at the Juana, in Juan-Les-Pins, was decisive and Franck soon became his second at the Louis XV in 1987. In 1996, Alain Ducasse entrusted him with directing the brigade. Since 2007 he has been the Executive Chef for all the restaurants at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo.
