Mùnegu Repair Café

From hairdryers and sewing machines to record players and bedside lamps, the expert volunteers who run the Mùnegu Repair Café can fix up a long list of broken or damaged household items that would otherwise be destined for landfill. Here are all the details about the upcoming event. 

On Saturday 13th January at the Marché de la Condamine in Monaco, a group of well-skilled volunteers will be setting up workstations and workshops from 3.30pm to 6pm to help locals repair much-loved and appreciated electrical goods that have stopped working properly.

This community-driven event, organised in collaboration with the successful Nice branch of the Repair Café project, encourages sustainable living by offering residents an opportunity to mend or refurbish broken items rather than replace them.

In the past, the Mùnegu Repair Café has proved very popular with the local community so be sure to get there in plenty of time to secure your place in the queue. Organisers are requesting that participants respect the “order of arrival” to ensure everyone can be accommodated efficiently.

Over the next 10 weeks, access to the seafront Boulevard du Larvotto will be considerably limited due to ongoing construction works at the vast Testimonio II development. 

Although the works are scheduled to take place each night from 8pm to 6am until Friday 8th March, the heavily used roadway will only be able to partially open by day, according to a statement released by the Monaco Government.

From 7.30am to 11.30am, traffic will be allowed onto the Boulevard du Larvotto from a Roquebrune Cap Martin direction to facilitate commuters heading into the Principality from the French and Italian communes to the east. 

Then, from 11.30am to 7.30am, this will be switched around to ease traffic heading out of Monaco. This will also be the case on weekends.  

Between Monday 19th February and Friday 8th March, when the works are due to finish, access to the Parking des Sources will possible uniquely via the Avenue Princesse Grace route.  

Once complete, Testimonio II’s 10,000sqm footprint will provide 378 state-owned apartments and 61 prime residences across two towers and its luxury Bay House.
