Monaco - Montecarlo
During my last trip between Italy and France we made a stop in Monaco. This micro-state is so intereasting since it has so many different things in such small space. Nothing is really missing here: from an old town, to department stores, parks, skyscratchers and so on...
This is the well-known casino of Montecarlo (I didn't go in and play ;-) )
Since I was there in May, there was already work and preparation for the Monaco GP.
The track basically go through all the city
And this is the old town of Montecarlo, that one is the Palace where the Grimaldi family lives.
The old town is very cosy and picturesque. It is in a hill on the west part of the Principality from which you can see the whole territory.
In the old town there is the Cathedral where the members of Grimaldi family are buried.
Among the other tombs there is Grace Kelly's tomb where fresh flowers are never missing.
