Closing applause for the 63rd edition of the Monte Carlo Television Festival, held from June 14 to 18. Stars from all over the world gathered on the blue carpet to meet their fans and celebrate the series that has left its mark on us in recent years.
Check out this five-day celebration that pays tribute to famous French titles, starting with Little House on the Prairie, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
On this occasion and for the first time in Europe, a large part of the actors went to the beach of Monaco. Those who strolled by the Grimaldi Forum during the festival were able to meet Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim) and Marie Ingalls (Melissa Sue Anderson). But also several stars of NCIS and its spin-off, Tony and Ziva, came to celebrate the 1,000th episode of the parent series, surrounded by a huge cake.
