At just 20 years old, Alicia L., a florist at Narmino, skillfully and sensitively represents the new generation of passionate artisans. Born in Nice and residing in Cros-de-Cagnes, she perfectly embodies family tradition, creativity, and determination.

A Vocation and a Journey in Full Bloom

Inspired by her grandfather, who dreamed of becoming a landscape designer, Alicia developed a deep attachment to flowers and creation at a very young age. After obtaining a CAP (vocational certificate) and then a professional florist’s diploma, she joined Narmino in Monaco, where she perfects her art every day.

“Here, we have so much more material, varieties, and styles… It’s a real creative playground,” she confides.

At Narmino, this passion finds a natural echo: amidst high standards, elegance, and artistic freedom, Alicia can finally give free rein to her creativity and bring to fruition the dream her grandfather passed on to her.

WorldSkills: A Personal and Collective Challenge

It all began when a WorldSkills champion florist visited her class in 2024. This encounter awakened in Alicia the desire to push her limits. She chose to participate in a team competition, a format that brought her confidence and motivation.

First Stage: The Regionals in Avignon

During six hours of competition, candidates had to create pieces that were both technical and artistic: a floral hat, or a perfume bottle to be adorned with flowers. Alicia won silver in the general classification and gold in the “parcours plus” category, rewarding her creativity and rigor.

Diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alicia transforms her neurodivergence into strength: precision, concentration, and attention to detail become her allies.

Second Stage: The Nationals in Marseille

Six months later, she participated in the national trials in Marseille. Between physical, mental preparation, and training, the competition was intense. Waking up at 5:30 AM, warm-up, team brief, followed by three days of creation, totaling nearly 18 hours of challenges.

The themes reflected the spirit of the city: a wall hanging on the Old Port theme, or a linear bouquet inspired by the Mucem.

At the closing ceremony, Alicia won bronze in the “parcours plus” category among fifteen florists, a moment of emotion and pride shared by the entire Narmino team.

And Tomorrow?

After this intense adventure, Alicia wishes to refocus:

“Competitions are an incredible experience, but also very demanding. I want to stabilize myself and continue to progress in my profession. Perhaps one day I’ll compete again, but not right away.”

At Narmino, we are proud to support Alicia on her journey, a symbol of passion, perseverance, and creativity. Her perspective on flowers, both sensitive and bold, perfectly illustrates the spirit of our house.

Alicia, our florist, awarded at WorldSkills

Through this moving story, filmed in some of the most iconic locations in Monaco – Casino Square, the Larvotto district, Monaco-Ville, and the rooftop of the Fairmont Monte Carlo – flowers became a language. Each bouquet imagined by our artisan florists was designed as a silent chapter, an emotion captured in its colors, textures, and style.

From romantic pastel-toned arrangements, to bolder and more graphic creations, and the delicate simplicity of a white bouquet: each carried a message, each responded to that universal need to express the unspeakable – to say “I love you” without words.

This delicate film, the result of a beautiful collaboration between the Visit Monaco teams and the talents of Narmino, is also a tribute to the timeless beauty of the Principality, to its light, its elegance, and its power to stir deep emotions.

Monaco, the stage for a quiet love.
Flowers, the words that were missing.

On the occasion of the 2024 Monaco Historic Grand Prix, the television show Auto Moto on TF1 offered a magnificent platform to Nicolas Matile-Narmino, owners of the Narmino boutiques, who was able to discuss his passion for beautiful cars and for racing. Fans of collectible mechanics will discover in the video below in particular the incredible watchmaking that is the V12.

 

From flowers to circuits, it is the same taste for a certain lifestyle, so traditional to the wonderful territory of the Côte d’Azur, which drives Nicolas’s choices. We all remember the legendary races which animated the streets of the Principality, just as we remember the glamorous parties which followed them, animated by the benevolence of the princely family, during which legendary celebrities and couples paid homage to the beauty of our dear coastline.

 

“Driving is a pleasure and I know that I am extremely lucky to be able to have this kind of hobby, but nothing would be possible without the Zig Zag team who take care of my cars and the logistics of the races. I also very warmly thanks the Automobile Club of Monaco which does extraordinary work every year to ensure that these exceptional moments continue to be experienced.”

Interview with Nicolas Matile-Narmino on TF1 on the occasion of the 2024 Monaco Historic Grand Prix.

 

The races in Monaco have a rich and fascinating history, closely tied to the renowned Monaco Grand Prix. Established in 1929, this winding and demanding urban circuit has hosted some of the most memorable moments in Formula 1 history. The course, which weaves through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine, is famous for its tight corners and elevation changes, making the race both spectacular and challenging. For Nicolas Matile-Narmino, driving on this legendary circuit is an unparalleled experience, a blend of technical challenge and nostalgic journey, which further fuels his passion for vintage race cars and the prestigious history of automotive competition in Monaco.
