As the Fête Nationale de Monaco approaches, venues across the Principality are planning a host of special events to celebrate and commemorate the traditions and heritage of the micronation, with the Marché de la Condamine among them.

On Tuesday 19th November between 9am and 2pm, visitors to the central marketplace will be invited to sample a variety of local culinary specialities, such as hearty bowls of stockfish à la monégasque. The classic dish will be prepared in a giant cauldron in public view, adding to the traditional ambience of the celebrations. It will be served from 12pm.

Later in the day, a series of live music acts will perform in the square from 7.30pm. The show will culminate with a concert by Liane Foly, a French singer renowned for her jazz-pop style.

Along with the music, visitors will also get the chance to explore an exhibition put together by the Unité des Seniors.

To reserve a seat in the marketplace, speak to a local vendor. For more information about the event, click here.
