The Cultural Rendez-Vous at the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo continue with Guillaume de Tonquédec, actor and author, invited to mark the publication of his first book, Ta mère et moi. In this deeply personal account, he revisits the story of his parents, whose profound love and unwavering devotion endured life's many challenges.

Alongside its art collection, architecture and inviting spaces for contemplation, the hotel cultivates a cultural programme where literature, creativity and the art of living come together naturally. Writers, artists and intellectuals are welcomed throughout the year, making each Rendez-Vous a special opportunity for meaningful conversation.

A story of love and legacy

An accomplished stage and screen actor, Guillaume de Tonquédec is known for numerous roles, notably in Le Prénom, for which he received the César Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the television series Fais pas ci, fais pas ça.

In his first book, Ta mère et moi, published on September 9, he recounts his parents' story, from their first encounter and instant connection to the challenges they faced together during his mother's illness.

Through the portrait of a father who became his wife's caregiver, he pays tribute to enduring love and explores, with sensitivity and restraint, the strength of family bonds, the passing down of values and emotions that stand the test of time.

Through its Rendez-Vous Culturels, the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo embodies a sensitive vision of hospitality, where works of art, ideas and meaningful exchanges naturally find their place. Conceived as privileged interludes, these encounters bring together figures from the worlds of literature, art and thought, inviting them to engage in conversation with guests and share their perspectives in the sincere and intimate atmosphere that is so dear to the Maison.
