Father's Day in Monaco

Father's Day in Monaco, known as "Fête des Pères," is celebrated on the same day as in France, which is typically the third Sunday in June. This tradition aligns with many other countries that adopted the American practice of honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.

History and Traditions:

• The concept of a day for fathers originated in the United States and gradually spread to other parts of the world.
• In Monaco, similar to French customs, Father's Day was introduced in the mid-20th century.
• The day was popularized by lighter manufacturers who saw an opportunity to promote their products as gifts for fathers.

What People Do:

• Children often create handmade gifts or cards to express love and appreciation for their fathers.
• Families might celebrate by sharing a special meal, either at home or at a restaurant.
• Gifts such as ties, tools, or other items that cater to individual dads' interests are commonly given.
• Some may opt for experiences rather than physical gifts, such as outings or activities that can be enjoyed together.
