Princess Stéphanie marks 16 years of Maison de Vie in Carpentras
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
A new creative arts space has opened at the Maison de Vie in Carpentras, backed by Fight Aids Monaco, the Monegasque Government and the Monegasque Red Cross.
The Maison de Vie in Carpentras reached its 16th anniversary this month with the inauguration of a new creative arts space dedicated to people living with HIV. The facility, which has long been a cornerstone of Princess Stéphanie's humanitarian work through Fight Aids Monaco, now offers residents a dedicated environment to support personal recovery and rebuild confidence through artistic expression.
The new space was developed with the backing of three institutions central to Monaco's social welfare commitments: Fight Aids Monaco, the Monegasque Government, and the Monegasque Red Cross. Princess Stéphanie, who founded Fight Aids Monaco in 2004 and has championed the Maison de Vie since its creation in 2010, attended the inauguration to mark the milestone.
For Monaco residents who follow the Principality's charitable landscape, the anniversary underlines the sustained, long-term nature of the commitment. Sixteen years on, the Maison de Vie continues to function not as a temporary initiative but as a permanent, evolving residential and support facility, now expanded to include creative arts as a recognised tool in its care programme.
