This week with the arrival of Chinese new year we can finally say that holidays are over. If you wonder what could you do this weekend, then here are a few suggestions.
This weekend we are keeping an eye on the 27th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique held from Wednesday 29 January to Wednesday 5 February.
Just three days after the climax of the WRC event, the focus will shift to the 27th Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique. In keeping with tradition, the competitors given the green light to start the rally will be faced with a highly demanding route featuring some of the historic special stages that forged the legend of the “Monte-Carlo”. This classic version of the rally is reserved for cars that raced in Monte-Carlo Rallies between 1911 and 1983.
The Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra prepared two concerts for this weekend. On Saturday there is a chamber Music concert “Mozart in Monaco” will David BISMUTH, Piano, Pierre GÉNISSON, Clarinet, Musicians of the OPMC is organized on Saturday 1 February 2025, at 8 pm in Auditorium Rainier III.

For kids this weekend there is “Le zoo des tout-petits” (“The Toddler Zoo”) on stage of the Théâtre des Muses on Saturday 1 February at 4.30 pm and Sunday 2 February at 10.30 am, Théâtre des Muses.
This is the crazy adventure of Sébastien who is looking for work and who suddenly finds himself a zookeeper, even though he has no experience with animals! He then takes his courage in both hands and sets off with the spectators to meet the zoo’s residents. There, the adventures begin: the turtle has eaten balls, the sea lion is starving, the crocodile has a toothache and the lion is feeling down! A show full of humor, punctuated by magic and the participation of the children.
For sports fans there is Ligue 1 French Football Championship: AS Monaco – AJ Auxerre on Saturday 1 February at 7 pm, Stade Louis II.
And on Sunday there is Betclic Élite French Basketball Championship: AS Monaco Roca Team – Gravelines-Dunkerque at 7 pm in Salle Gaston Médecin.

There are several interesting exhibitions going on in Monaco these days. For example, discover the new monographic exhibition by Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa, specially conceived for the Villa Paloma and featuring a previously unseen selection of sculptures, drawings, films and light projections.
The exhibition takes its names from pietre paesine (imaged stones), whose geological designs are evocative of painted landscapes, on the boundary of figuration and abstraction. This idea of an analogy between nature and technique is at the heart of Francisco Tropa’s work, which focuses on the conditions of appearance and perception of an image.
The Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology is delighted to invite you to discover its new temporary exhibition: The Butterfly Effect: The Pre-History of Animals, organised under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Explore whole rooms themed to the animal kingdom and biodiversity, and take a fascinating journey through archaeology and our natural history! It is open until Monday 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique.
Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.
So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
