The Journal de Monaco is not a private newspaper: it is the Principality’s legal publication, where laws, ordinances, decrees, legal notices and National Council debates appear. Memoria lists it separately from commercial newsrooms because it is the primary source for most entries in the guide.

From l’Eden to the official journal

The Government recalls a direct line to the first issue of 1858, then titled l’Eden – Journal de Monaco. The 1962 Constitution makes it the official bulletin; content has expanded (legal notices, announcements, political life) while keeping a weekly schedule, now also available online.
