Monaco

The Principality of Monaco. "You will be astonished and surprised each step of the way around this town of Princes. From the Old Town, which can be described as a genuine open-air museum, to the Casino Square, unique in the world, you will discover the story of the Grimaldi family.

A modern town, Monaco has expanded its territory by claiming surface from the sea : do not miss out on a visit to the area of Fontvieille, emerged from the sea, where technologies meet the arts. To immerse yourself in the teeming atmosphere of the town, take a stroll around the traditional market of "La Condamine" or discover "Les Moneghetti" area."

Monaco Official Tourism Web site. "A sovereign and independent state, the Principality of Monaco has borders on its landward side with several communes of the French Department of the Alpes-Maritimes; from west to east these are Cap d'Ail, la Turbie, Beausoleil and Roquebrune Cap Martin. Seawards, Monaco faces the Mediterranean Sea.

Its surface area is 485 acres, of which nearly 100 were recovered from the sea during the course of the last twenty years. Monaco lies on a narrow coastal strip, which sometimes rises vertically upwards with its highest point at 206 feet. Its width varies between .65 miles and a mere 382 yards. Its coastline is 2.5 miles long. The Principality has only one commune, Monaco, whose limits are the same as those of the state."
