On Wednesday 21st October, a delegation of more than 20 female parliamentarians from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Francophonie (APF) undertook an official guided tour of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco.

The visit provided the delegates with a detailed insight into the Principality’s political history and architectural heritage, including its recently restored State Rooms.
