The refurbishment of Fontvieille Shopping Centre is progressing towards its scheduled completion in December, with work transforming the galleries into brighter, more modern and welcoming spaces. Architect Jérôme Hein, from Monaco-based firm TAG, explained that the project is divided into three sections, with the southern area already 95 percent complete, whilst work continues around Carrefour and the northern gallery leading to the public lifts.
