Europe > Monaco > Introduction
M O N A C O |
| The
tiny principality of Monaco clings to the edge of France, a tiny slice of the rich, exotic
and somewhat wicked. For more than a century now, the aristocracy, royalty and the wealthy
have discovered the pleasures of this city. Though the days when the casino at Monte Carlo
swarmed with blue-bloods, spies and swashbucklers have gone, Monaco is still Monaco - the
stuff dreams are made of. The heady Formula One Grand Prix and the Monte Carlo Motor Rally
are major attractions in Monaco. |

Monaco
is the second-smallest country in the world, with just one city. You can wander through
the entire city on foot, splurge at the casino, party at the beach and watch film stars
and celebrities cavorting. Monaco is rich, glittering, heady - a small city, but a city
that does everything in style. |
