Originally published as a special edition of ''[Nice-Matin](/source/Nice-Matin)'', ''Monaco-Matin'' was established as an independent newspaper through an agreement between Gérard Bavastro, president of ''Nice-Matin'', and [Michel Lévêque](/source/Michel_L%C3%A9v%C3%AAque), Monaco's [Minister of State](/source/Minister_of_State_(Monaco)), on 17 December 1997; its first issue was published on 31 December 1997.[{{cite web |last=Salles |first=Alain |title=Quand la principauté de Monaco subventionne «Nice-Matin» |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/archives/article/1998/02/20/quand-la-principaute-de-monaco-subventionne-nice-matin_3658706_1819218.html |website=[Le Monde](/source/Le_Monde) |access-date=18 June 2025 |language=fr |date=20 February 1998}}][{{cite web |last=Signouret |first=Muriel |title=Un journal bon prince |url=https://www.strategies.fr/actualites/medias/r39475W/un-journal-bon-prince.html |website=Stratégies |access-date=18 June 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231011416/https://www.strategies.fr/actualites/medias/r39475W/un-journal-bon-prince.html |archive-date=31 December 2014 |language=fr |date=5 January 2006}}]
