Les France de l'Histoire

In this episode of Secrets d’Histoire, Stéphane Bern explores the life of a great queen of the Middle Ages: Eleanor of Aquitaine. A passionate and loving woman, ahead of her time. She goes on a crusade, she gets divorced... It is also thanks to her that the legend of King Arthur will be born.

A year of access to Prince Albert II’s day-to-day life and Monaco’s modern monarchy, mixing palace routines, public duties, and the principality’s image-making and power structures.

Politics divides people, but food brings them together. Working for the royal couple, H.S.H. Prince Albert II and H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco, chef Christian Garcia prepares special meals for the Grimaldi family and organizes large receptions at the Palace. We follow the daily lives of the Chamberlain, the valets, the laundresses, the gardeners, the silversmiths, and all the staff of the Palace of Monaco, who preserve centuries-old traditions in the art of hospitality.
