European Women’s Rapid & Blitz Championship
In Monaco, the venue for these European Championships, temperatures are expected to be around 10 degrees next weekend — so for people who don’t like the cold weather, it will definitely be more pleasant than in Germany.

The address of the Novotel Hotel is: 16 Bd Princesse Charlotte, 98000 Monaco.
