      <title>ANDREW NEIL: beware the autocracies </title>

      <description>Photograph of Andrew Neil: Edwright Images, Monaco
Gordon Brown will hang on; Europe and America will be pushed together out of fear of China; and we had better beware of the rise of the new autocracies. That was the message from one of Britain's highest profile broadcasters who was in the Principality of Monaco last week to speak at a Celebrity Lunch. 

Organised by Azur Productions in the Caf&amp;eacute; de Paris, the lunch attracted 130-plus people to hear Andrew Neil's thought-provoking predictions for the future. The former editor of The Sunday Times lives and breathes politics. He's currently publisher of the Press Holdings Media Group (The Spectator) and anchorman for Daily Politics on BBC2, The Week on BBCI and Straight Talk on BBC News 24. 

&amp;quot;The news is not good from the UK&amp;quot; he began. Prices are up, negative equity is back and immigration is fast taking a back seat as far as issues that worry the Brits are concerned. &amp;quot;The consumer boom was driven by property values, and cutting interest rates is not making a difference.&amp;quot; 

The UK's embattled Prime Minister Gordon Brown will stay to the bitter end in two years time when the general election beckons with a wipe-out or a &amp;quot;recoverable defeat&amp;quot; for Brown. Conservative leader David Cameron will get in on a protest vote.&amp;nbsp;Neil likened Brown to a vampire - &amp;quot;someone who operates well in the shadows but is weak in the glare of the PM's role&amp;quot; to explain his extraordinary descent into the hell of worst polls ever for a Labour Prime Minister. 

On America, he would like to see the Democrat candidate Barak Obama win the day over Republican John McCain &amp;quot;to put a stop to the anti-US feeling&amp;quot;. Either way the Atlantic Alliance will be strengthened in the face of the threat from China. 
Autocracies Rule OK

On longer term trends, he fears the rise of the new democracies, namely China and Russia, who believe in what they are doing. &amp;quot;The current commodity price boom and rise of China is leading to a massive transfer of commodities from the liberal democracies to the autocracies - it's invigorating them.&amp;quot; 

Neil was also worryingly pessimistic about giving aid to Africa. &amp;quot;The new Silk Road leads from China to Africa. It's no good the Western World laying down laudable conditions for giving aid to Africa's worst regimes: &amp;quot;China is right behind them saying how much do you want? The democratic world is weakened, divided and lacking in direction.&amp;quot; 

He ended on a positive note - &amp;quot;in time the liberal democracies overcame Nazism and communism, far worse threats than face the world today. There is hope.&amp;quot; He also pointed out that if the price of oil stays high at $135 a barrel, many more environmentally friendly technologies - solar, wind, wave power - will become much more economic than they would have done had the price stayed low at $50. </description>

      <description>Top Marques Monaco 2008 

&amp;ldquo;The World&amp;rsquo;s Most Exclusive Auto Show&amp;rdquo; was the headline of a New York Times article that appeared on Friday, April 25, 2008. The fifth edition of Top Marques Monaco thus becomes a shining new jewel in our crown of overwhelming success! 

But how does one measure success? Is it just a question of numbers? The 20,000 thrilled visitors who showered praise on the show? Or the amount of sales of cars, watches, and luxury products (Euro 100 Million)? And what about quality, excellence? Many an exhibitor was quite vague about the exact number of sales, but none were vague about the quality of visitors who flowed through the doors of Top Marques Monaco 2008. Over one hundred-twenty-five exhibitors inside and outside the Grimaldi Forum provided the visitors with a panoramic view of today&amp;rsquo;s best in luxury and super cars, superboats, vintage and limited edition watches, as well as an eclectic display of products from world renowned luxury industries. 

After days of rain running up to opening day, the sun greeted special guest star Damon Hill, ex-F1 champion, as he officiated the inauguration of the fifth edition of Top Marques Monaco. His tour of the exhibition marked a thrilling moment for all. However, the pi&amp;egrave;ce de la r&amp;eacute;sistance came at the Celebrity Lunch for 426 members of the business community of Monaco. Damon Hill, as guest speaker, proved to be an excellent speaker, indeed, expounding on his career, providing entertaining anecdotes during his days on the Grand Prix circuits. As he responded to questions and answers from the floor, he demonstrated wit as well as made salient remarks about the state of the art and the future of the F1. 

Taking time from a supercharged schedule which included receiving the President of France in the Principality, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco visited the show on Friday, April 25th. His tour of the exhibition resulted in His acknowledging Top Marques Monaco&amp;rsquo;s endeavours to highlight the car manufacturers&amp;rsquo; awareness of environmental issues with the exposition of many &amp;lsquo;green&amp;rsquo; cars (the biofuel Koeningsegg, Fisker plug-in hybrid, Lexus hybrid technology, BMW Hydrogen 7, electric cars Tesla and Venturi, and E85-bio ethanol). Moreover, this year&amp;rsquo;s visitors received a great glimpse of new cars on the block including the astonishing SPADA Codatronca, plus many bespoke car manufacturers. 

2008 is a ground-breaking year as Top Marques Monaco espoused its new fianc&amp;eacute;e, Top Marques Watches, which turned out to be a tremendous triumph. A pavilion of 20 exhibitors, bringing to the public&amp;rsquo;s eye hundreds of the world&amp;rsquo;s most splendid timepiece manufacturers in an astonishing display of beauty, precision, technology and design. Without going into many details, more than one exhibitor smiled as they said &amp;ldquo;we are very happy with our presence here!&amp;rdquo; 

The luxury industries made headlines this year with diamond-studded wheels, exclusive real estate properties, high fashion jewellery and travelling cases, and an original Corkscew that stopped traffic. Connoisseurs of quality wines were not left out in the cold either; Gruppo Meregalli of Monza not only delighted visitors with the various products on their stand, but were the official sponsors of Top Marques Monaco Celebrity Lunch and the Citi Private Bank VIP Lounge, providing us with the best vintages in wines and champagne. 

Meanwhile, outside in the streets of Monaco, roared the engines of the world&amp;rsquo;s most powerful supercars and those fabulous machines of freedom, the Hollister&amp;rsquo;s motorcyles. Rivalling the traffic from the Tennis Open and the awesome traffic resulting from President Sarkozy&amp;rsquo;s visit to the Principality, the engines found respite in zooming up and down the Moyenne and Grande Corniches, often times swerving through the Grand Prix &amp;lsquo;Tunnel&amp;rsquo;, giving a great boost to sales. 

Saturday and Sunday brought many visitors from the Monte-Carlo Tennis Open who came from far and wide. The smiling faces were proof enough of their satisfaction with the show. Among those smiling faces one could see many celebrities from French television, and also fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger admiring the superb watches. And when you think that nothing else can happen, it does&amp;hellip;. 

Sunday, late in the afternoon, Bono of U2 swept in like a summer breeze, breathing new life into the exhibitors who were all thinking about resting their feet at the end of the show. His enthusiasm was spontaneous and ignited the hearts and minds of many as he graciously greeted the stars of innovation at Top Marques Monaco 2008. 

Top Marques Monaco cannot garner all this success in its own bosom. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Citi Private Bank, our title sponsor; Knight Frank, Elite Yacht Charters, ProAir Aviation, the Monaco Government Tourist and Convention Authority and the SBM for their continued and loyal support. 

To survive and even outshine the success of 2007 was a daunting challenge; 2008 has crowned us with Top Marques! Stay tuned for 2009! 

...........................................................

&amp;laquo; Le Salon d&amp;rsquo;Automobile le plus exclusif au monde &amp;raquo; &amp;eacute;tait le titre d'un article de New York Times qui est paru le vendredi 25 avril 2008. La cinqui&amp;egrave;me &amp;eacute;dition de Top Marques Monaco devient ainsi un nouveau bijou brillant dans notre couronne de succ&amp;egrave;s retentissant ! 

Mais comment mesure-t-on le succ&amp;egrave;s ? Est-ce juste une question de chiffres ? Les 20.000 visiteurs qui ont fait des &amp;eacute;loges sur l'exposition ? Ou est-ce que la quantit&amp;eacute; de ventes des voitures, des montres, et des produits de luxe (Euro 100 millions) ? Et que diriez-t-on de la qualit&amp;eacute;, de l&amp;rsquo;excellence ? Maint exposant fut tr&amp;egrave;s vague au sujet du nombre exact des ventes, mais aucun n'&amp;eacute;tait vague au sujet de la qualit&amp;eacute; des visiteurs qui ont travers&amp;eacute; les portes de Top Marques Monaco 2008. Plus de cent vingt-cinq exposants &amp;agrave; l'int&amp;eacute;rieur et &amp;agrave; l&amp;rsquo;ext&amp;eacute;rieur du Grimaldi Forum ont fourni aux visiteurs une vue panoramique du meilleur d'aujourd'hui dans les voitures de luxe et des superbes bolides, les bateaux de puissance, des montres vintage et d'&amp;eacute;dition limit&amp;eacute;e, aussi bien qu'un affichage &amp;eacute;clectique des produits des grandes industries de luxe. 

Apr&amp;egrave;s des jours de pluie jusqu'&amp;agrave; l&amp;rsquo;ouverture des portes, le soleil a salu&amp;eacute; notre invit&amp;eacute; vedette, ex-F1 champion Damon Hill, qui a offici&amp;eacute; l'inauguration de la cinqui&amp;egrave;me &amp;eacute;dition de Top Marques Monaco. Son tour de l'exposition a marqu&amp;eacute; un moment fort pour tous. Cependant, la pi&amp;egrave;ce de la r&amp;eacute;sistance fut le Celebrity Lunch pour 426 membres du milieu affaires de la Principaut&amp;eacute;. Damon Hill s'est av&amp;eacute;r&amp;eacute; d&amp;rsquo;&amp;ecirc;tre un excellent orateur, en effet, parlant de sa carri&amp;egrave;re de pilote F1, fournissant les anecdotes amusants pendant ses jours sur les circuits des Grand Prix. Pendant qu'il r&amp;eacute;pondait aux questions et r&amp;eacute;ponses de la salle, il a d&amp;eacute;montr&amp;eacute; qu&amp;rsquo;il avait la r&amp;eacute;partie facile et a fourni de remarques saillantes au sujet de la situation actuelle et du futur de la F1. 

Prenant du temps d'un programme surcharg&amp;eacute; qu'inclut la visite du pr&amp;eacute;sident de la France en Principaut&amp;eacute;, SAS Prince Albert II de Monaco a visit&amp;eacute; l'exposition le vendredi 25 avril. Lors de son tour du Salon, Il a communiqu&amp;eacute; sa reconnaissance des efforts de Top Marques Monaco d'accentuer la conscience des constructeurs des voitures aux concernes de l&amp;rsquo;environnement. Ceci s&amp;rsquo;est traduit par l'exposition de plusieurs voitures &amp;laquo; verts &amp;raquo; (Koeningsegg, combustible organique, les hybrides Fisker et Lexus, la BMW hydrog&amp;egrave;ne 7, les voitures &amp;eacute;lectriques Tesla et Venturi, et le Conept Climax utilisant l&amp;rsquo;E85-bio&amp;eacute;thanol). En outre, les visiteurs de cette ann&amp;eacute;e ont pu voir de nouvelles voitures, comprenant l&amp;rsquo;&amp;eacute;tonnante SPADA Codatronca, ainsi que beaucoup des constructeurs du sur mesure ! 

2008 est une ann&amp;eacute;e d'inauguration pour Top Marques Monaco qui a &amp;eacute;pous&amp;eacute; sa nouvelle fianc&amp;eacute;e, Top Marques Watches, un v&amp;eacute;ritable triomphe. Un pavillon de 20 exposants, avec des centaines des plus splendides montres au monde dans un affichage &amp;eacute;tonnant de beaut&amp;eacute;, de pr&amp;eacute;cision, de technologie et de conception. Sans entrer dans beaucoup de d&amp;eacute;tails, plus d'un exposant a souri comme ils ont dit que &amp;laquo; nous sommes tr&amp;egrave;s heureux d&amp;rsquo;&amp;ecirc;tre ici ! &amp;raquo; 

Les industries de luxe on d&amp;eacute;taill&amp;eacute; une liste &amp;eacute;clectique de produits allant des jants clout&amp;eacute;es de diamants ; les propri&amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute;s immobili&amp;egrave;res exclusives ; les bijoux et valises de luxe, et un original Corkscew (tire-bouchon) qui arr&amp;ecirc;tait tout trafic ! Des connaisseurs des vins de qualit&amp;eacute; n'ont pas &amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute; exclus ; Gruppo Meregalli de Monza a non seulement enchant&amp;eacute; des visiteurs avec les divers produits sur leur stand, mais &amp;eacute;tait le sponsor officiel des vins et champagnes au Celebrity Lunch et le Citi Private Bank VIP Lounge. 

Dehors dans les rues de Monaco, a hurl&amp;eacute; les moteurs des bolides les plus puissants au monde et de ces machines fabuleuses de la libert&amp;eacute;, les motos Hollister&amp;rsquo;s. Rivalisant avec le trafic du Tennis Open et le trafic impressionnant r&amp;eacute;sultant de la visite du Pr&amp;eacute;sident Sarkozy en Principaut&amp;eacute;, les moteurs ont trouv&amp;eacute; un sursis dans le bourdonnement &amp;agrave; travers les Moyenne et Grand Corniches, n&amp;rsquo;oubliant un &amp;eacute;cart speed par le &amp;lsquo;Tunnel' du F1 ; donnant un grand &amp;eacute;lan aux ventes. 

Samedi et dimanche ont amen&amp;eacute; beaucoup de visiteurs du Tennis Open de Monte Carlo des quatre coins du monde. Les visages souriants &amp;eacute;taient la preuve de leur grande satisfaction avec le Salon. Parmi ces visages on a pu noter plusieurs vedettes de la t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;vision fran&amp;ccedil;aise, et &amp;eacute;galement le couturier Tommy Hilfiger, admirant les montres superbes. Et quand vous pensez que rien d'autre ne peut se produire&amp;hellip;. 

Dimanche, tard dans l'apr&amp;egrave;s-midi, Bono d'U2 a balay&amp;eacute; l&amp;rsquo;entr&amp;eacute;e avec une brise d'&amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute;, un nouvel &amp;eacute;lan pris par les exposants qui tous pensaient d&amp;eacute;j&amp;agrave; &amp;agrave; reposer leurs pieds &amp;agrave; la fin de l'exposition. Son enthousiasme &amp;eacute;tait spontan&amp;eacute; et a mis &amp;agrave; feu les c&amp;oelig;urs et les esprits de beaucoup lors de son tour o&amp;ugrave; il a aimablement salu&amp;eacute; les &amp;eacute;toiles d&amp;rsquo;innovation de Top Marques Monaco 2008. 

Top Marques Monaco ne peut recueillir pour lui tout seul tout ce succ&amp;egrave;s. Notre appr&amp;eacute;ciation sinc&amp;egrave;re va &amp;agrave; Citi Private Bank, notre sponsor atitr&amp;eacute; ; Knight Frank, ProAir Aviation, Elite Yacht Charters ; la DTC de Monaco, et le SBM de leur soutien continu et fid&amp;egrave;le. 

Survivre et m&amp;ecirc;me surpasser le succ&amp;egrave;s de 2007 &amp;eacute;taient un d&amp;eacute;fi intimidant ; 2008 nous a couronn&amp;eacute;s avec des Top Marques ! Top Marques Monaco 2009 vous attend !

&amp;ldquo;The World&amp;rsquo;s Most Exclusive Auto Show&amp;rdquo; was the headline of a New York Times article that appeared on Friday, April 25, 2008. The fifth edition of Top Marques Monaco thus becomes a shining new jewel in our crown of overwhelming success! 

But how does one measure success? Is it just a question of numbers? The 20,000 thrilled visitors who showered praise on the show? Or the amount of sales of cars, watches, and luxury products (Euro 100 Million)? And what about quality, excellence? Many an exhibitor was quite vague about the exact number of sales, but none were vague about the quality of visitors who flowed through the doors of Top Marques Monaco 2008. Over one hundred-twenty-five exhibitors inside and outside the Grimaldi Forum provided the visitors with a panoramic view of today&amp;rsquo;s best in luxury and super cars, superboats, vintage and limited edition watches, as well as an eclectic display of products from world renowned luxury industries. 

After days of rain running up to opening day, the sun greeted special guest star Damon Hill, ex-F1 champion, as he officiated the inauguration of the fifth edition of Top Marques Monaco. His tour of the exhibition marked a thrilling moment for all. However, the pi&amp;egrave;ce de la r&amp;eacute;sistance came at the Celebrity Lunch for 426 members of the business community of Monaco. Damon Hill, as guest speaker, proved to be an excellent speaker, indeed, expounding on his career, providing entertaining anecdotes during his days on the Grand Prix circuits. As he responded to questions and answers from the floor, he demonstrated wit as well as made salient remarks about the state of the art and the future of the F1. 

Taking time from a supercharged schedule which included receiving the President of France in the Principality, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco visited the show on Friday, April 25th. His tour of the exhibition resulted in His acknowledging Top Marques Monaco&amp;rsquo;s endeavours to highlight the car manufacturers&amp;rsquo; awareness of environmental issues with the exposition of many &amp;lsquo;green&amp;rsquo; cars (the biofuel Koeningsegg, Fisker plug-in hybrid, Lexus hybrid technology, BMW Hydrogen 7, electric cars Tesla and Venturi, and E85-bio ethanol). Moreover, this year&amp;rsquo;s visitors received a great glimpse of new cars on the block including the astonishing SPADA Codatronca, plus many bespoke car manufacturers. 

2008 is a ground-breaking year as Top Marques Monaco espoused its new fianc&amp;eacute;e, Top Marques Watches, which turned out to be a tremendous triumph. A pavilion of 20 exhibitors, bringing to the public&amp;rsquo;s eye hundreds of the world&amp;rsquo;s most splendid timepiece manufacturers in an astonishing display of beauty, precision, technology and design. Without going into many details, more than one exhibitor smiled as they said &amp;ldquo;we are very happy with our presence here!&amp;rdquo; 

The luxury industries made headlines this year with diamond-studded wheels, exclusive real estate properties, high fashion jewellery and travelling cases, and an original Corkscew that stopped traffic. Connoisseurs of quality wines were not left out in the cold either; Gruppo Meregalli of Monza not only delighted visitors with the various products on their stand, but were the official sponsors of Top Marques Monaco Celebrity Lunch and the Citi Private Bank VIP Lounge, providing us with the best vintages in wines and champagne. 

Meanwhile, outside in the streets of Monaco, roared the engines of the world&amp;rsquo;s most powerful supercars and those fabulous machines of freedom, the Hollister&amp;rsquo;s motorcyles. Rivalling the traffic from the Tennis Open and the awesome traffic resulting from President Sarkozy&amp;rsquo;s visit to the Principality, the engines found respite in zooming up and down the Moyenne and Grande Corniches, often times swerving through the Grand Prix &amp;lsquo;Tunnel&amp;rsquo;, giving a great boost to sales. 

Saturday and Sunday brought many visitors from the Monte-Carlo Tennis Open who came from far and wide. The smiling faces were proof enough of their satisfaction with the show. Among those smiling faces one could see many celebrities from French television, and also fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger admiring the superb watches. And when you think that nothing else can happen, it does&amp;hellip;. 

Sunday, late in the afternoon, Bono of U2 swept in like a summer breeze, breathing new life into the exhibitors who were all thinking about resting their feet at the end of the show. His enthusiasm was spontaneous and ignited the hearts and minds of many as he graciously greeted the stars of innovation at Top Marques Monaco 2008. 

Top Marques Monaco cannot garner all this success in its own bosom. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Citi Private Bank, our title sponsor; Knight Frank, Elite Yacht Charters, ProAir Aviation, the Monaco Government Tourist and Convention Authority and the SBM for their continued and loyal support. 

To survive and even outshine the success of 2007 was a daunting challenge; 2008 has crowned us with Top Marques! Stay tuned for 2009!

&amp;laquo; Le Salon d&amp;rsquo;Automobile le plus exclusif au monde &amp;raquo; &amp;eacute;tait le titre d'un article de New York Times qui est paru le vendredi 25 avril 2008. La cinqui&amp;egrave;me &amp;eacute;dition de Top Marques Monaco devient ainsi un nouveau bijou brillant dans notre couronne de succ&amp;egrave;s retentissant ! 

Mais comment mesure-t-on le succ&amp;egrave;s ? Est-ce juste une question de chiffres ? Les 20.000 visiteurs qui ont fait des &amp;eacute;loges sur l'exposition ? Ou est-ce que la quantit&amp;eacute; de ventes des voitures, des montres, et des produits de luxe (Euro 100 millions) ? Et que diriez-t-on de la qualit&amp;eacute;, de l&amp;rsquo;excellence ? Maint exposant fut tr&amp;egrave;s vague au sujet du nombre exact des ventes, mais aucun n'&amp;eacute;tait vague au sujet de la qualit&amp;eacute; des visiteurs qui ont travers&amp;eacute; les portes de Top Marques Monaco 2008. Plus de cent vingt-cinq exposants &amp;agrave; l'int&amp;eacute;rieur et &amp;agrave; l&amp;rsquo;ext&amp;eacute;rieur du Grimaldi Forum ont fourni aux visiteurs une vue panoramique du meilleur d'aujourd'hui dans les voitures de luxe et des superbes bolides, les bateaux de puissance, des montres vintage et d'&amp;eacute;dition limit&amp;eacute;e, aussi bien qu'un affichage &amp;eacute;clectique des produits des grandes industries de luxe.

Son tour de l'exposition a marqu&amp;eacute; un moment fort pour tous. Cependant, la pi&amp;egrave;ce de la r&amp;eacute;sistance fut le Celebrity Lunch pour 426 membres du milieu affaires de la Principaut&amp;eacute;. Damon Hill s'est av&amp;eacute;r&amp;eacute; d&amp;rsquo;&amp;ecirc;tre un excellent orateur, en effet, parlant de sa carri&amp;egrave;re de pilote F1, fournissant les anecdotes amusants pendant ses jours sur les circuits des Grand Prix. Pendant qu'il r&amp;eacute;pondait aux questions et r&amp;eacute;ponses de la salle, il a d&amp;eacute;montr&amp;eacute; qu&amp;rsquo;il avait la r&amp;eacute;partie facile et a fourni de remarques saillantes au sujet de la situation actuelle et du futur de la F1.

Lors de son tour du Salon, Il a communiqu&amp;eacute; sa reconnaissance des efforts de Top Marques Monaco d'accentuer la conscience des constructeurs des voitures aux concernes de l&amp;rsquo;environnement. Ceci s&amp;rsquo;est traduit par l'exposition de plusieurs voitures &amp;laquo; verts &amp;raquo; (Koeningsegg, combustible organique, les hybrides Fisker et Lexus, la BMW hydrog&amp;egrave;ne 7, les voitures &amp;eacute;lectriques Tesla et Venturi, et le Conept Climax utilisant l&amp;rsquo;E85-bio&amp;eacute;thanol).

Un pavillon de 20 exposants, avec des centaines des plus splendides montres au monde dans un affichage &amp;eacute;tonnant de beaut&amp;eacute;, de pr&amp;eacute;cision, de technologie et de conception. Sans entrer dans beaucoup de d&amp;eacute;tails, plus d'un exposant a souri comme ils ont dit que &amp;laquo; nous sommes tr&amp;egrave;s heureux d&amp;rsquo;&amp;ecirc;tre ici ! &amp;raquo; 

Les industries de luxe on d&amp;eacute;taill&amp;eacute; une liste &amp;eacute;clectique de produits allant des jants clout&amp;eacute;es de diamants ; les propri&amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute;s immobili&amp;egrave;res exclusives ; les bijoux et valises de luxe, et un original Corkscew (tire-bouchon) qui arr&amp;ecirc;tait tout trafic !

Dehors dans les rues de Monaco, a hurl&amp;eacute; les moteurs des bolides les plus puissants au monde et de ces machines fabuleuses de la libert&amp;eacute;, les motos Hollister&amp;rsquo;s. Rivalisant avec le trafic du Tennis Open et le trafic impressionnant r&amp;eacute;sultant de la visite du Pr&amp;eacute;sident Sarkozy en Principaut&amp;eacute;, les moteurs ont trouv&amp;eacute; un sursis dans le bourdonnement &amp;agrave; travers les Moyenne et Grand Corniches, n&amp;rsquo;oubliant un &amp;eacute;cart speed par le &amp;lsquo;Tunnel' du F1 ; donnant un grand &amp;eacute;lan aux ventes. 

Samedi et dimanche ont amen&amp;eacute; beaucoup de visiteurs du Tennis Open de Monte Carlo des quatre coins du monde.

Parmi ces visages on a pu noter plusieurs vedettes de la t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;vision fran&amp;ccedil;aise, et &amp;eacute;galement le couturier Tommy Hilfiger, admirant les montres superbes. Et quand vous pensez que rien d'autre ne peut se produire&amp;hellip;. 

Dimanche, tard dans l'apr&amp;egrave;s-midi, Bono d'U2 a balay&amp;eacute; l&amp;rsquo;entr&amp;eacute;e avec une brise d'&amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute;, un nouvel &amp;eacute;lan pris par les exposants qui tous pensaient d&amp;eacute;j&amp;agrave; &amp;agrave; reposer leurs pieds &amp;agrave; la fin de l'exposition. Son enthousiasme &amp;eacute;tait spontan&amp;eacute; et a mis &amp;agrave; feu les c&amp;oelig;urs et les esprits de beaucoup lors de son tour o&amp;ugrave; il a aimablement salu&amp;eacute; les &amp;eacute;toiles d&amp;rsquo;innovation de Top Marques Monaco 2008.
