The kids are on holiday next week, and most importantly, don't forget to turn your clock back an hour on Saturday night.
What's new?
There's a new manager at O Duplex , the Italian restaurant on boulevard Albert 1er. The place has been closed for several months, so we might see it opening its doors again soon. Across town at Cosmopolitan, the chef has re-introduced roast beef and Yorkshire pudding to the Sunday evening menu, to tempt all you Brits who crave a taste of home.
Tennis fans can now reserve tickets for the 2013 Monte Carlo Tennis Masters, and if you like to jog, the Monaco Run is accepting registrations for March, along with the Pink Ribbon Walk. Looking even further ahead, Monte Carlo SBM has announced that renovation of the Hotel de Paris is to start in January 2014, at the same time as the demolition of the Sporting d'Hiver.
