Immaculate Christmas tree, life-size polar bear, giant teddy bear dressed for skiing... The Monegasque princely palace was transformed into Santa Claus' workshop on 14 December.
Despite the cold, the atmosphere seemed cheerful and warm.
The day was also placed under the sign of generosity: the princely family indulged in a large distribution of Christmas gifts for Monegasque children aged 5 to 12 years.

The heirs to the throne, who celebrated their 8th birthday just a few days ago, are not at their first Christmas festivities this year.
On Port Hercule, they inaugurated the traditional illuminations on December 2.
They were accompanied by Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of Princess Caroline of Hanover, as well as their cousin Raphaël Elmaleh, son of the Monegasque rider and comedian Gad Elmaleh.
At only 8 years old, the children of the princely family take part in official ceremonies with ease, proof that they are already well versed.
What Princess Charlene had confirmed on Wednesday in an interview with
Monaco-Matin
: “Jacques and Gabriella appreciate accompanying us, and with the prince, we like to accomplish these missions all four, together.”
