In the beating spring heat of the French Riviera, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco played host to the most glamorous of all luxury events, Top Marques Monaco and of course the SuperCar extravaganza on the streets outside.

In the first of my reports from Top Marques here is my overview of this amazing event. This years Top Marques played host to not only the famous cars from the James Bond spectre movie, a rare acid green Porsche 918 Spyder on sale by Supercarbroker.com but also the worlds first hover board by Arca, demonstrated outside to Prince Albert of Monaco in a flashbulb haze of publicity of which I was a part of!

If you want to go to a luxury event that has it all, then Top Marques is it. Inside the Grimaldi Forum were many many trade stands displaying super-high end goods from gold plated dumbbells, gold flake Champagne, to fabulous watches and diamonds and Jetski’s.

A big thank you to the whole marketing team especially Suzanna Chambers at Top Marques who made Luxury News Online so welcome!

Top Marques Monaco  takes place annually at the Grimaldi Forum in the principality of Monaco. It features exhibitions by numerous brands of luxury aircraft, automobile, banking, boat, footwear, handbag, jewellery, real estate and wine products. One feature of Top Marques Monaco that sets it apart from other automotive exhibitions is its use of the adjacent Formula 1 Grand Prix racetrack to display cars in action and conduct test drives. A quarter of the event’s ticket sales are donated to Monaco Aide et Présence, a charity established by Monaco’s reigning Prince Albert.

So when you bring all of this together and the tremendous networking opportunities right on the glamorous French Riviera, you can see that this is a very special event to be at, and Luxury News Online was very proud to be a media partner this year!

So sit back and enjoy the images from this years event – and take a look at our YouTube channel for videos coming soon and further reports right here on Luxury News Online.
