Prince Albert of Monaco Purchases Historic Property for Son Prince Jacques in Les Baux-de-Provence
Prince Albert II of Monaco has announced the acquisition of a historic property in Les Baux-de-Provence, France, for his son, Prince Jacques. The announcement was made during a ceremony where Prince Jacques, 11, received the keys to the city, a tradition for the Marquis of Les Baux, a title held by the heir to the Monegasque throne since 1642. Prince Albert, accompanied by Princess Charlene and their twins, Jacques and Gabriella, stated that the property, the former home of the Connétable de Montmorency, will undergo extensive renovations in the coming months. This initiative aims to further connect Prince Jacques with the French village, echoing Prince Albert's own connection established by his father in 1958. The property is intended to serve as a symbol and showcase for the network of historic Grimaldi sites in France.
