Only inappropriate clothing (1)

After a fantastic evening celebrating Saint David's Day last Friday, we're wondering what to do for next week's Saint Patrick's festivities. Any suggestions?

What's new?

It's International Women's Day tomorrow, with several events taking place in Monaco that celebrate the role of females in the world. It's also an important weekend for our next door neighbour, Beausoleil. Sometimes referred to as Upper Monte Carlo, the French town's Chamber Music Festival starts on Saturday, with a free concert on each of the 4 weekends in March. Sunday sees the annual Beausoleil stair race challenge, a breath-taking, heart-pumping, against the clock climb up the town's many steps. Tomorrow we have a live radio broadcast from Stars n Bars, and another next week from Novotel to launch the forthcoming Printemps des Arts festival. Finally, chef Patrick Raingeard regained the Michelin star he originally earned at Port Palace's Mandarine restaurant, and for those of you who like to counteract good eating with a little light exercise, MonacoUSA is organizing another gourmet golfing day later this month.

What's in the diary...

Thursday: CleanEquity, freeze party.
Friday: Music with NRJ and a quartet.
Saturday: Kick boxing, Ristretto recital.
Sunday: 3 composers and a film maker.

Coming up next week, first aid, Seville week, and a chance to win tickets to Top Marques.
