The name Monte-Carlo immediately speaks to the glamour and cachet of this fabled principality of Monaco. Situated at the foot of France, edging the Mediterranean, Monaco is a unique micro country. Memories of Grace Kelly are everywhere, the splendor of the Casino filled with beautiful, glittering people and the Monaco Grand Prix motor race are all there along with an energy and magic that exudes from its very core.
The narrow streets abound with Italian cafés, small restaurants, elegant shops of world renowned fashion designers, chic stores that sell everything from antiques to ultra modern furnishing, luggage to even affordable fashions, some at sidewalk and others tucked away in hidden shopping arcades and all within easy walking of the grand hotels and the Casino.
In the past, Monte-Carlo was virtually synonymous with the high stakes gambling, but today this is changing.
