LES BAUX

Absolutely no explanation for why a bunch of pictures of Piet Mondrian paintings are on exhibit at Les Baux, a ruined medieval mountaintop fortress in Provence, but there they are.

Princess Grace of Monaco tribute exposition at Baux-de-Provence, in France in 2012. 

In June 1982, the people of Les Baux gave an official reception for Prince Albert of Monaco, who attended accompanied with her mother, Princess Grace, and presented him with the keys of the town. The princess would die that three months later, in September 14th, in a car accident near Monaco. 

To celebrate the opening of The Princess Grace Photo Album, a group of regional dignitaries, tourism authorities, and local business owners were welcomed for a private tour and gala luncheon this summer. The guest of honor was Diane E. Kelly, the Consul General of the U.S. in Marseille and Monaco. 

Apparently, the Grimaldi family back in 1642 helped Louis XIII beat off the Spanish and were rewarded with Les Baux and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.  The Grimaldis’ palace there was requisitioned during the Revolution but they have kept the titles.  There’s a supplement on this, with photos and info on the life of Princess Grace, in this week’s Paris Match.
