HSH Prince Albert will be visiting Longjumeau, a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, later this year.
The announcement was made by the mayor, Sandrine Gelot, on Friday, January 12, during her official New Year’s address. The Prince has a strong connection with the town, since among his many titles he is also Count Longjumeau. The visit will take place in June.
The town has recently joined the Association of Historic Grimaldi sites, a network created in 2015 to link the ancient fiefdoms of the Grimaldi family in both France and Italy.
“The Prince has expressed his willingness to visit these sites,” said the city council, which sees in this opportunity the opportunity to “talk about Longjumeau differently, through its history.”
Among Prince Albert’s other titles, he is Marquis de Chilly and Duke of Mazarin.
