The Garden Club de Monaco hosts its 57th International Bouquet Competition from 4th to 10th May 2026, combining a week-long trail through the Principality’s decorated shopfronts with a weekend exhibition and programme of talks at the Yacht Club de Monaco.

The window display competition, Monaco en Fleurs, now in its second year, runs throughout the week with 19 participating boutiques across Monaco dressing their shopfronts for the occasion. A map titled La route des fleurs guides visitors between the participating shops.

Yacht Club programme

The competition’s prize-winning floral compositions go on display at the Yacht Club de Monaco from 18:00 on Saturday 9th May, with free entry until 19:30. The exhibition reopens on Sunday 10th May from 9:30 to 18:30, also free of charge.

Sunday’s programme includes a floral demonstration by Nathalie Roussel, a SNHF professor, who will create five bouquets live between 11:30 and 13:00. Four talks are scheduled across the day: perfume expert Corinne Marie-Tosello opens with a conference on the rose in all its forms at 11:00; Aurélie Varitto of Monaco’s Direction de l’Aménagement Urbain speaks at 14:30 on the art of decorating the Principality with flowers from conception to planting; Jonathan Pons of Bonsaï Center addresses the many expressions of bonsai at 15:00; and Benjamin Laugier of the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco closes the afternoon at 15:30 with a talk on artists and flowers.

All events at the Yacht Club are free and open to the public.
