STARS 'N' BARS

Inaugurated in November 2010 by Prince Albert, this Monegasque sign with an American accent on the Riviera boasts a coat of arms that boldly blends the American banner with the Principality's red diamond checkered shield in a colourful fantasy. Deo Juvante, "with God's help", the Grimaldi motto, seems finally well adapted to the Emirates. The estanco that Didier Rubiolo and Kate Powers have successfully established on the Quai Antoine^1er is now offering its first international clone, not far from the Formula 1 circuit.
