Dripping in glamour, the principality of Monaco in the Cote d'Azur is home to some of the wealthiest people in the world. This independent city-state’s lavish Monte Carlo Casino was the backdrop of Bond classic GoldenEye, while Hollywood legend Grace Kelly became a Princess of Monaco in the 1950s when she married Prince Rainier III.
Monaco and glamour go hand-in-hand – from the Monaco Grand Prix to the year-round extravagant lifestyles of its residents. Monte Carlo is the place to be, with its signature Belle Époque architecture, luxury shopping and world-class restaurants. Admire the spectacular yachts at Monte Carlo Harbour or try your luck at Casino Square, before taking in the views from the Prince’s Palace and strolling through the pretty Old Town with its narrow streets and cathedral. Vintage car lovers should view Prince Rainier III’s impressive private collection, which is on show at Les Terrasses de Fontvieille.
The Côte d’Azur is renowned for its year-round sunshine, azure waters and idyllic beaches. In Monaco, Monte Carlo’s Larvotto Beach is where the international jet-set head to see and be seen, soaking up the sun against a glitzy backdrop of luxury buildings, bars and restaurants.
Anyone who’s anyone can be found on the terrace of Café de Paris at the Monte Carlo Beach Hotel, where Champagne, cigars and slot machines are enjoyed by wealthy guests and celebrities. In addition to the opulent Louis XV Restaurant, which has no less than three Michelin stars, there’s an Olympic-sized swimming pool and thermal spa. Newly renovated for 2018, the hotel is set to reach new heights of luxury.
Shopping in Monaco is an extravagant affair amid palm-tree lined boulevards and regal white architecture. The designer enclaves of Avenue de Monte-Carlo, Avenue des Beaux Arts and the Allées Lumières in the Cercle d’Or district serve up all the fashion greats, including Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and Sonia Rykiel. The area around the Place du Casino is another luxury shopping district. Condamne Market on Place d’Armes sells fresh fruit and vegetables in true Provence-style, and it is here that you are reminded that you are in the south of France.
