The “Office des Timbres” of the Principality of Monaco
will put the following stamp "MONEGASQUE
SONGS BY THE CHILDREN OF THE CHOIR OF THE ACADÉMIE RAINIER III"
The first Monegasque stamp in augmented reality! Snap the stamp with a
smartphone, and you will hear an extract from a CD of Monegasque songs produced
at the initiative of Monaco City Hall. The songs are performed by the children
of the choir of the Académie Rainier III accompanied by the Monte-Carlo
Philharmonic Orchestra. A true cultural, artistic and educational project, the
CD showcases the richness and diversity of Monaco’s linguistic and musical
heritage and encourages young people to make it their own.

des Monnaies”, the post offices and philatelic counters of the Principality,
