Where is marchais state? And who lives there?

It's an estate of the Grimaldi family near Paris, I believe no one actually lives there. It was said that Princess Charlotte used to live there from the 50s to the 70s. The family posed there for the first official pics after Princess Grace's death in late 1982, and if I'm not mistaken the last pics of the family around the estate were taken in 1996 or 1997. I remember seeing Princess Stephanie and her kids with their cousins the Casiraghis.

Thank you monaco70s

But why don't they use it? I'd like to live near the most beautiful city in the world

They do. Albert just recently took his mistress with his private plane there according to the caption of some pics from Nice airport. It is also surrounded by farmland for which Albert received 300 000 Euros in 2005 from the EU as help. I read somewhere that the farmers in the area don't like the Grimaldis much, but don't remember where I read it. It was definetely in connection with the EU money and the way the farming on the estate is run. I don't suppose he is doing biological farming. But who knows, maybe there he will turn green for a change.

I hope he is doing biological farming!

Thanks Paca for the information, I didn't know he had been there recently.

Try looking in this thread. Marchais Estate If you don't find them go to the right hand corner of this Forum and type in Marchais and it will bring up other threads that it's been mentioned in. I know there are a few of them.

monaco70s · #74 07-05-2007, 11:18 AM

I think also in one of the first parts of the Grimaldi Retrospective thread too.

lea · #75 07-06-2007, 07:26 AM

Thanks Lady MacAlpine and Monaco70's!!!!! I will look for them.

I read some time ago that after Princess Charlotte died a portion of the estate was detroyed by fire and Grace and Rainier rebuilt it and refurbished it. From the photos I've seen of it, it's quite beautiful, but then everything Grace did was done to perfection.

Thanks for the photos. All of them look happy together as a family. I did not know the Monaco royal family had another palace in France. The only palace I knew of was the one in Monaco.

I couldn't find anywhere else to post this: Article & pics of Riva Tritone- a boat that the Royal family purchased for holidays.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful pictures&facts, I didn't know a lot of the stuff posted. I don't mean to sound mean but Prince Albert was very good looking, what happened? I always thought he kind of plain until I saw the older pics.

Age catches up with all of us, he gained weight and lost his hair.
