I met Kira as part of her favorite hobby: sailing. I did not realize then that she was the young woman that I saw on the META’s instagram. And then, one day I understood and I was eager to know more about this muse with golden-haired, who together with her family, created META, the first “Concept Gallery” in Monaco.
Even when you know Kira, you can be wrong with her sister Marina … That is what happened to me when I went to META, avenue Princess Grace. They both presented me the Gallery and especially the very recent exhibition “ART IN THE FAST LANE”, which revolves around the theme of the motorcycle. An exciting time with two enthousiast girls !

Kira grew up in Los Angeles bathed in a cultural and artistic environment. A beautiful migratory bird, she spent her Master’s International Relations in Scotland at St Andrew’s Universtity, began her professional life in London for ‘The Economist’ and then flew to New-York in the world of cinema where she organized The tribeca Festival, a documentary film Festival created by Robert De Niro. In parallel, she follows and gets her MBA Business & Art. She loves everything related to communication and events and finds herself managing the political campaign of Louis Giscard d’Estaing for the election of representatives of French abroad. At 27 years old ! Not to mention her passion for sailing and ceramics in each of her adopted cities.
With her remarkable education and work experience, she naturally participates in the creation and development of this Concept Gallery in Monaco with her brother, Roy and her sister Marina. A family story ! An adventure where eveyone is complementary : Kira in communication & marketing management, Marina in preservation of art art objects management and jewelry’s creation and Roy in artistic management. Small team and great complicity ! Each has found its role and supports each other.

Avenue 31, The atmosphere is very relaxed and the restaurant is spacious so you always find a table at the last minute. I have been there recently with friends who are Chefs and they loved the menu innovation.
Coming from California, I like to be feet in the water. Le Méridien Beach Plaza has the only private beach on Monaco and offers an iconic decor that reminds the atmosphere of the French Riviera. It feels on vacation right away.
La Note Bleue on Larvotto Beach. They have musicians who come to play at night. The atmosphere is top even if we want to stay to have a snack. The juices are delicious.
From the Rock when you go up to the museum, you see all the sailboats in the harbor. To get there the road is somptuous with the crossing of the trees.
Italy is unavoidable, the Italian atmosphere immediatly changes the ideas.
We are spoiled in Monaco, there are many beautiful places. I would say the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel is a good place to play yoga with a sea view… Namaste.
Eqvita, this restaurant has a great vegan menu. I am from California and a good guacamole is survival !
The fireworks in Monaco, they are magnificent.
