It's the 20th Monaco Yacht Show this weekend and if you haven't yet been invited to one of the exclusive parties aboard one of the fabulous superyachts, never fear. There are lots of fringe events where you're bound to have a good time and meet plenty of hedonists. Most notably, the Brasserie de Monaco is hosting a boat party every night, Jimmy'z is featuring Kenny Carpenter, and Eddie and the Hot Rods take to the stage in Moods.
If you're stuck in Monaco but want to escape the yacht crowd, there's a debate (in French) about public transport, a screening of a classic black and white film noir, and a concert at the Auditorium Rainier III. Looking ahead to next week, the Fondation Prince Pierre will be handing out literature prizes, and the British Association is organizing a talk by the police service (booking essential).
