Après la longue pandémie, qui n'est pas encore tout à fait terminée, notre équipe éditoriale a décidé d'essayer de tendre la main à toutes les personnes touchées de diverses manières par la pandémie dans notre blog ici.
La couverture de la pandémie est suffisante. Cet été, avec la poésie de Crina Popescu, nous voulons vous faire réfléchir.

Crina Popescu est une poétesse née en Moldavie. Ancien étudiant de l'Université de Nice, département de philosophie. L'œuvre du jeune poète est une réconciliation de la pensée philosophique avec l'image poétique. 

Sa poésie, déjà récompensée à plusieurs reprises, se retrouve également dans le livre "Favonio 2020", publié par "Alletti Editore" dans le cadre du prix des lauréats.
À travers ce type de réflexion, Crina Popescu aborde en vers des thèmes existentiels tels que l'amour, la mort, le temps, l'éternité. À l'instar des mathématiciens qui retracent les "codes" de l'univers, Crina Popescu tente de révéler les vérités du monde. 
Sa poésie peut être comprise comme un véritable guide de la raison sur le chemin de l'harmonie de l'être. 

Monaco-Life.com est fier de pouvoir rendre compte ici en exclusivité de cette talentueuse poétesse et de ses œuvres, dont on entendra sûrement encore beaucoup parler. 

Spring is the most beautiful season for many in Monaco. Temperatures as in summer in northern Europe and except for some cold nights also very mild night temperatures.

But not only the weather invites you to visit Monaco in the period from January to May. Except for a few weekends, tourism is very reduced compared to the summer. Restaurants and coffees are not too crowded and you can almost always find a place. The traffic is much quieter this season (except at rush hour).

That is why most of them reside there before the most beautiful time of the year. The year starts with the world-famous Circus Festival and next to some smaller events in March then followed by the famous and uniquely beautiful Ball della Rose.

Parallel there is a Christmas market accompanied by a large ice rink, which extends to the area of ​​the swimming pool in the Haven until February. Also until February we locked a level in the car park at the Rocher and built an e-cart track. Yes, in Monaco you know how to optimally design every season.

Traffic in Monaco part II - Turn arround MYS

Recently we wrote a little about the daily traffic around Monaco. Even today, on the way out of Monaco on our track in a curve, a cyclist came towards us, who did not feel the need to get on his lane or stop. No, he pushed with decent speed between our car and the on the opposite lane just by ... and that with a child on the pillion. Whether it´s coolness or just crazy, we leave it out of the question.

But after a few rides of this kind we have become accustomed to it and shake our heads every day. Well, exercise keeps well being.

But even in Monaco itself it is sometimes very full. Not only to the rush hour sometimes press avalanches through the sometimes narrow streets. The many construction sites do the rest, that sometimes it takes an hour to get from one to the other end of the rather small state. Whereby we can not complain about too few roads and tunnels.

In addition to the construction sites, large annual events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix or the Yacht Show are also suitable for challenging those unfamiliar with the site. Many streets are one-way streets or somehow do not go where you expected. That a road seems to run parallel means nothing! Because often this leads then a little further up, so that the one who does not know simply drives around his destination. Or the tunnel that you once identified as a safe route to the destination is closed. Zack ... there you stand.

Especially now for the yacht show the by the Grand Prix famous Fairmont tunnel  and also the passage along the swimming pool along the harbor had to be closed.. Sure, that makes sense, because the yacht show takes place at the harbor. There has to be an alternative.

Therefore, we can all those, who visit Monaco more often by car only advice to really explore the city by car. Then you know your way around quickly and are prepared for all eventualities!

What fascinates us again and again, especially at major events, is how well all the pre- and post-work as well as the implementation of events and construction sites are planned. Not only that the construction fences, barriers and scaffoldings are often provided with beautiful printed privacy, also the traffic management runs where it is possible due to the construction site or work is very good. If not too many vehicles are on the way! In places where it still hangs, you can count on the fact that the very friendly and extremely well-organized police are on-site to regulate the traffic for the motorized road users as well as for the pedestrians.

We have to eat every day. But sometimes we have no time or even no desire, to stand in the kitchen for a long time and to cook something. If you have a chef at home who cooks whatever you want at any time of the day or night, you're almost in paradise.

For all others, an extensive range of restaurants in the area is worth gold!

I've looked at our own, admittedly very manageable list of restaurants in Monaco. With horror I noticed that this list is no longer up to date and not complete! That's why I made myself smart and gathered all the restaurants and other places where you can satisfy your daily hunger. Over the next few days my results will gradually be found under the heading "Restaurants".

However, this will take some time, because in this just 1.92 sq km small (or even large) state, there are an incredible number of different restaurants, cafes and bars.

At the same time, I realized how retracted you are in your habits. For some time we find ourselves again and again in the same places again. Our favorites at the moment are Avenue 31 on Avenue Princesse Grace 31 and Miami Plage on Larvotto. Although the map at the Miami Plage is manageable, it is a great place to have pizza, burgers or salads on the beach. Especially when the sun is already a bit under and a bit windy, you also like to sit at the sea a little longer with a glass of wine. Optimal also in the afternoon with children who can occasionally play on the beach.
