Pauline Ducruet, representative of the Rocher's new generation. The daughter of Princess Stephanie of Monaco presided over the 6th edition of the Circus Festival "New Generation" at Fontvieille, from Friday 3rd through to Sunday February 5th.

The New Generation Festival is a competition for budding young circus artists - the equivalent for beginners of the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival created in 2011, under the Presidency of Princess Stephanie and given to her daughter Pauline.

It was grand dad Prince Rainier who created the International Circus Festival in 1974. The jury of this new edition of the New Generation Festival is chaired by Pauline.

During the festival, Pauline was assisted by her family: Stéphanie de Monaco, brother Louis Ducruet (with his companion Marie) and younger Camille Gottlieb who also help in awarding the prizes - the Junior d'Or, the Junior d'Argent or the Junior of Bronze - under the gaze of Prince Albert II.
