On Sunday 13th July, the lively spirit of French culture returns to Place d’Armes with the ever-popular Apéro des Frenchy – a giant open-air gathering hosted by the Mairie de Monaco in honour of France’s national day.

From 5pm to 10pm, the Marché de la Condamine will transform into a festive hub for all ages, featuring a vibrant playlist of French hits from the 1950s to the 1990s, a pétanque court, and blind tests on iconic chansons. Known for its fun, friendly energy, L’Apéro des Frenchy has become a much-loved local tradition in the run-up to Bastille Day.

Entry and reservations

Entry is €8 (excluding food and drinks), and children under 12 can join for free. Due to limited capacity, advance booking is required via the event page: my.weezevent.com. Please note the event will be cancelled in the event of bad weather.

Celebrating French heritage, Monaco-style

The event blends the charm of a traditional French apéro with Monaco’s unique multicultural flair, inviting residents and visitors to toast to Franco-Monégasque friendship with music, laughter and games at the heart of the Principality.
