Stade Louis II
Stadium inaugurated on January 25, 1985 in Fontvieille, on the land reclaimed from the sea, and named in homage to Prince Louis II.
The Stade Louis II was inaugurated on January 25, 1985 in the Fontvieille district — that is to say on land which did not exist thirty years earlier, since the Fontvieille land was reclaimed from the sea from the mid-1960s.
A memory correction
The file contains a clarification which is important for an archive guide: the architects of the stadium are Henry Pottier, Jacques Rechsteiner, Philippe Godin, Rainier Boisson and Joseph Iori, named in the Journal de Monaco of February 1, 1985. The name of Henry Rey, often associated with the operation, is that of a Monegasque notary — several notarial offices in the place also bear his signature in the legal insertions that Memoria cites elsewhere.
Memoria prefers to record the exact list rather than letting an approximate attribution circulate: this is precisely the kind of error that a directory copies step by step without ever going back to the act.
What the sheet does not claim to know
The date of completion of the work is not published separately from the inauguration: Memoria therefore retains the only certified date, that of the inauguration, specifying that it is valid for the commissioning of the work.
The facts are paraphrased; only the source is cited. A correction, a missing date? Write to Memoria.
