The prince strolled through the streets of Argenteuil, in Val-d'Oise, alongside Valérie Pécresse to inaugurate a fresco. Painted by the Le Havre artist Sckaro, it pays homage to the grandfather of the 14th and current sovereign prince of Monaco. John B. Kelly, Albert's grandfather, was a medalist in rowing at the 1924 Paris Olympic Games.
“I really thank the Mayor and all the personalities who had the idea of this beautiful tribute and we are really, my family and I, very very touched by his attention to this tribute to my grandfather and his cousingreeted Albert II of Monaco during this inauguration. “It’s great, I’m very happy, really touched by this welcome and by the friendship and joy. But these are the values that not only my grandfather conveys, but that sport and Olympic sport convey which also gave us so much pleasure this summer during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. also explained the Prince.
