The Destination
Monte-Carlo, the wealthiest of Monaco’s various administrative areas, is known for its casinos and gambling, glamour and celebrity-spotting. Bordering the French town of Beausoleil and nestled between the mountains of the Maritime Alps and the beaches of the Mediterranean, Monte-Carlo is one of Europe’s leading tourist resorts. Monte-Carlo quarter includes the area proper where the casinos are located, the neighborhoods of Saint Michel and Saint Roman/Tenao, and the beach community of Larvotto. Founded in 1866, the Principality’s name has Italian origin meaning Mount Charles, which pays homage to the then reigning prince, Charles III of Monaco. Monte-Carlo is home to most of the Circuit de Monaco, on which the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix takes place. It also hosts world sport championships, grand fashion shows and other noted events. Monaco-Ville is home to many key tourist attractions, including Monaco Cathedral, the Napoleon Museum, the Oceanographic Museum and aquarium, and the Prince’s Palace.
