Once again this year, the patron of the Amicale Interprofessionnelle des Anciens Légionnaires Entrepreneurs, Melanie-Antoinette de Massy, was keen to perpetuate the tradition by inviting the residents of the Invalides de la Légion Étrangère institution in Puyloubier, which works on behalf of Legion veterans, to the prestigious Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters tennis tournament. This initiative is designed to strengthen the ties between the Principality and the Légion Étrangère, following the white kepi ceremony.
Home of Former Legionnaires
Amicale president Sascha Kunkel was honored to welcome the residents of the Invalides de la Légion Étrangère in Puyloubier. The former legionnaires were escorted to the VIP box to watch the match between Luca Nardi and Alexandre Muller, a decisive match for qualification. This exceptional experience enabled them to fully appreciate the atmosphere of the tournament and the talent of the players on court. After Nardi’s victory, the Legionnaires left the dressing rooms, taking with them unforgettable memories of the match.
Conviviality and exchange at the VIP Lunch
Following the match, the former legionnaires were invited to lunch at the VIP village restaurant by the sponsor of the Amicale Interprofessionnelle des Anciens Légionnaires Entrepreneurs, accompanied by the President of the Amicale. This convivial lunch provided an opportunity for exchanges filled with anecdotes, as well as a moment of respect and unity, reinforcing the strong bonds that unite us.
An Immersion at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters
After lunch, the boarders had the opportunity to visit the VIP shopping village, accompanied by the President of the Amicale. This visit was a unique opportunity for the boarders to discover the VIP shopping village and soak up the prestigious atmosphere of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. Guided by the President of the Amicale, they were able to fully appreciate the unique moments offered by this exceptional event.
Closer ties between the Principality of Monaco and the Foreign Legion
The godmother was keen to perpetuate this tradition in order to strengthen the ties between the Principality and the Légion Étrangère, extending the spirit of the previous white kepis ceremony. By bringing together the residents of the Invalides de la Légion Étrangère and representatives of the Principality at such a prestigious event as the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters, we have consolidated the relationship between these two emblematic entities. This symbolic gesture testifies to our ongoing commitment to honoring and nurturing the historic ties and shared values between the Principality of Monaco and the Légion Étrangère.
