Here are the collection points where you can drop off new toys in Monaco for the White Pirate.

As he has done every year since 2020, the White Pirate from the Les Voiles Blanches (White Sails) charity will be setting sail on 28 August 2024 aboard his sailboat, the Skaf. Over the course of his maritime journey, the Pirate will stop at around fifteen ports on the Côte d’Azur to collect as many toys as possible for the sick children of the Fondation Lenval.

After Cassis, La Ciotat, Antibes, Cannes and Saint-Tropez, the Skaf will drop anchor in Monaco. Until 9 September, you can hand in a new toy or game – no gift wrap please for hygiene reasons in the hospital environment – at one of the two collection points. There is a chest in the lobby of the Town Hall and another at the La Condamine Market.

A small gesture of solidarity that is sure to bring a little comfort and pleasure to the children during their hospital stay.
