On Tuesday, January 21, Monaco’s Fontvieille district will host two major events: a UEFA Champions League football match between AS Monaco and Aston Villa at Stade Louis II at 18:45, and the Gala Evening of the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival at the Fontvieille Chapiteau at 20:00. To ensure smooth logistics, specific traffic and parking arrangements have been established.
Football spectators are required to park in designated areas, including the Wurtemberg, ZAC Saint Antoine, Stade Louis II, and Salines car parks. Access to other parking facilities in Fontvieille will be restricted. Those attending the circus gala should use the Colle, Papalins, Port, Écoles, and Saint-Nicolas car parks. From 18:30, the Fontvieille Shopping Centre car park will also be reserved for gala attendees.
For residents and workers in the area, exit routes will be available via the Marquet Link at ZAC Saint Antoine, Avenue de Fontvieille, or Avenue Albert II toward the tunnels. However, Avenue des Castelans will close from 15:45 onwards.
Visitors to either event are strongly encouraged to use public transport instead of personal vehicles. Those not attending are advised to avoid the Fontvieille district from 16:00 to minimise disruption.
