Monte Carlo, Monaco*, (From Villefranche)

Small but perfectly formed, Monte Carlo is platinum-plated excess at its best!

Rub shoulders with the rich and famous down at the marina or nibble Salade Niçoise in the old part of town. Play paparazzi and snap the limos on standby at the world-famous casino where thousands are won and lost on the throw of a dice. Bare all you dare down on the beach, and join the bronzed and the beautiful as they bask side by side.

Don’t Miss

The Grand Casino  – Gamble with the glitterati in très glamorous surroundings (or play safe and stick to the cocktails while the mega-rich risk it all).
The Prince’s Palace – Get in with the Grimaldis at the Royal Family’s apartments, where priceless paintings and furniture fill every room.
The Oceanographic Museum – Press your nose to the glass and goggle like Cousteau at the fish in this awesome aquarium.
