A note of history
The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the oldest and most prestigious races in the world.
Created in 1929 by Antony Noghès, the Monaco circuit, designed in the middle of the city, has maintained almost its entire original layout, a narrow and winding track, which makes it one of the most demanding circuits on the Formula 1 World Championship calendar.
The Monaco circuit is 3.367 km long.
The start is from the Port Hercule, then it winds through the streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, taking tight turns in the middle of guard rails: the track is narrow and demanding and makes overtaking difficult.
After the start line, the drivers go up the Boulevard Albert Ier and hurry through the first right-hand turn of "Sainte Dévote", the scene of many collisions in the first lap. They then start the very steep climb up "Beau-Rivage" to the very tight left-right of "Casino". From there, the drivers go down to the right turn of "Mirabeau", then comes the left hairpin "Grand Hotel", the slowest turn of the championship. The "Portier" section then leads to the sea and the drivers go through the tunnel that leads to the chicane near the port. At the exit of the tunnel, the fastest section of the circuit, the cars are approaching 300 km/h. After a short straight on the "Quai des États-Unis", comes the left turn of the "Bureau de Tabac", the left-right section of the "Piscine" and then a very difficult right hairpin at "La Rascasse". Finally, the drivers tackle the "Anthony Noghès" turn before the pit lane and the finish.
This is certainly one of the most demanding circuits on the Formula 1 World Championship calendar. It is the most glamorous, the most prestigious, the most popular and above all the one that every driver and every team wants to win!

LES CONSEILS DE MONOÏKOS 1297
Afin de profiter de votre bougie dans les meilleures conditions, laissez-la brûler la première fois jusqu’à ce que la totalité de la cire soit devenue liquide en surface.
Ne laissez pas brûler votre bougie plus de 4 heures.
Ne laissez pas une bougie allumée sans surveillance. S’assurez que la surface sur laquelle est posée la bougie est plane et résistante à la chaleur. Gardez vos bougies hors d’atteinte des enfants, rideaux et animaux domestiques.
Après extinction de la bougie, coupez la mèche pour qu’elle mesure 0,5 cm maximum. Une mèche trop longue peut engendrer un brûlage non homogène ou une fumée noire. Si de la fumée apparaît, éteignez votre bougie, coupez le bout de la mèche et rallumez !
Si la mèche se désaxe, recentrez-la délicatement, lorsque la cire est encore fondue.
Conservez votre bougie dans un endroit sec et tempéré, entre 15 et 25° C.

All you have to do is wash the glass, wipe it and use it in a thousand and one ways !
