A look back at the State visit to France in 1959
The Prince and Princess were hosted by President de Gaulle .
Princess Grace in Paris, 1959
She looked pretty wonderful on this state visit to France. I seem to remember reading that tensions between France and Monaco began to get very tense around this time and culminated in the early 60s with a threatened blockage to trade by France over issues to do with tax exemptions. Grace must have had to be at her most diplomatic during such visits to and from France, President de Gaulle - not the easiest man to deal with!
