After much anticipation, Flavio Briatore’s Billionaire party concept will launch next week at the Salle des Etoiles with a cabaret show and top-notch fusion dining.

The ultra-extravagant Billionaire nightlife concept founded by Italian businessman Flavio Briatore is hosting its big opening night party on Monday 31st July, and it’s set to be the party series of the season.  

Since 1998, when Formula 1 team manager and international businessman Briatore came up with the idea of gathering the beau monde together for a massive party in Sardinia, the idea has gone viral with events all over the world.  

NEWEST MEMBER OF THE CLUB 

Now, Monaco has joined in and will host 19 evening dinner shows featuring incredible live entertainment – singers, dancers, acrobats, artists and DJs – throughout the summer.  

Briatore has described his performers, some of whom hail from such world-renowned venues and shows as the Moulin Rouge and Crazy Horse, as “the best in the world” and says the vibe of the Billionaire events is “all about celebration”. 

Some 350 guests will meet in the Salle des Etoiles at Sporting Monte-Carlo on select evenings between 31st July and 22nd August for a delectable Asian-Italian fusion meal from the kitchen of Executive Chef Batuhan Piatti that includes dishes inspired by both his Turkish and Italian roots to amazing effect. The entertainment follows.  

Dinner and a show is €250, and the dress code is elegant, with jackets required for men. Doors open at 9pm. Booking is by phone only: +33 6 49 71 65 28 / +377 98 06 72 22.

AS Monaco v Leeds

AS Monaco have secured back-to-back pre-season wins. Their latest victory came against Leeds United in what was a successful conclusion to the club’s UK-based training camp.

Following a 3-1 victory over Real Betis, Monaco beat Leeds United on Saturday 22nd July. The Yorkshire side are a regular opponent for Les Monégasques, with the two sides last meeting in a friendly in December. And just as they did at Elland Road on that cold winter’s night, Monaco once again ensured the victory at the weekend.

Captain Wissam Ben Yedder and Kevin Volland got both goals as Adi Hütter‘s side beat the Championship club 2-0 in York. Philipp Köhn, who recently joined from RB Salzburg, made his debut for Les Monégasques and kept a clean sheet.

Matches against Arsenal and Bayern Munich to come

The Principality club therefore end their training camp on a high. Monaco have been based at St George’s Park, the home of the England national team since mid-July.

But whilst their overseas training is completed, pre-season is for from over. The club will next face Bologna and Genoa before returning to the UK to face Arsenal in the Emirates Cup.

Monaco’s final pre-season game will come against Bayern Munich on 7th August before the curtain-raiser against Clermont Foot on 13th August. Prior to that, Hütter will be hoping to build fitness levels and familiarity with his new squad.

There will likely be further arrivals – and departures – before the end of the transfer window, which shuts on 1st September.

It was all about life saving at Monaco’s Stade Nautique on Tuesday as the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation led a World Drowning Prevention Day full of fun and informative activities.

As part of World Drowning Prevention Day on 25th July, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation took to the Rainier III Nautical Stadium for a day of awareness raising of the dangers of drowning. The event was held in partnership with the Mairie, the Monaco Red Cross, the Monaco Maritime and Airport Police Division, the Monaco Fire Brigade and the Monaco Academy of the Sea.

Throughout the day, entry to the pool was free for those under 18 years, and in total, 143 children were able to take advantage of the workshops.

Partner organisations set up stands to present their life saving activities, including the Maritime Police of Monaco who showed the specialist equipment that it uses in its rescue operations at sea, while the Monaco Red Cross gave first aid and CPR demonstrations.

The Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation presented to the public the essential life saving measures that people should be taking to prevent drowning.

Meanwhile, every hour between 2pm and 6pm, water rescue demonstrations were carried out in the swimming pool by the lifeguards of the Stade Nautique Rainier III and the lifeguards of the Maritime Police.

The date of 25th July was decided in April 2021 by the United Nations alongside the adoption of the Resolution on Global Drowning Prevention, which calls on all Member States to take national and local measures in the face of this silent epidemic.

Drowning prevention is the main objective of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, which was created in December 2012 and supports and funds educational projects worldwide.
