MONACO GRAND PRIX - FRANCE
The Monaco Grand Prix (French: Grand Prix de Monaco) is a Formula One race held each year on the Circuit de Monaco. Run since 1929, it is widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious automobile races in the world alongside the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans (with which it forms the Triple Crown of Motorsport). The history, spectacle and glamour result in the race being considered ”the jewel of the Formula One crown”.
Like many European races, the Monaco Grand Prix predates the current World Championship. The principality's first Grand Prix was organised in 1929 by Anthony Noghès, under the auspices of Prince Louis II.
The 68th edition will take place from this year from 13 May to 16 May 2010.
The race is held on a narrow course laid out in the streets of Monaco, with many elevation changes and tight corners as well as a tunnel, making it one of the most demanding tracks in Formula One. |

FILM FESTIVAL CANNES - FRANCE
The Cannes Film Festival founded in 1946, is one of the world's oldest, most influential and prestigious film festivals. The private festival is held annually at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, in the resort town of Cannes, in the south of France. The 63rd edition will take place from 12 May to 23 May 2010.
At the outset, the Festival was principally a tourist and social event, more a film forum than a competition, since nearly every film screened walked off with a prize. Over the years, the great increase in participants and new economic stakes involved shifted its orientation. The Festival became the most media-covered annual event of the film industry, with today over 4,000 journalists representing 1,600 media companies. |
