A treasure trove of glitz and glamour awaits you on an exclusive three-kilometer stretch of coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. High rollers, professional athletes, and international stars flock to Monaco. While this rocky headland is filled with flashy sports cars, luxury apartments, superyachts, and unlimited entertainment, it's not lacking in culture and history. The royal family is committed to preserving and appreciating the principality's distinguished heritage. And the lavish opulence is in no way inferior to its charm. The newly designed Yacht Club de Monaco by Foster + Partners stands in stark contrast to the monumental Baroque building that houses the Musée Océanographique de Monaco. The Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, showcasing the latest contemporary art, stands in stark contrast to the Prince's Palace of Monaco, which dates back to the 12th century. Yet, it all coexists harmoniously within two hundred hectares of European land. Monaco’s list of regulars reads like the guest list of the ultimate private party: Charles Leclerc, Grace Kelly, Sir Roger Moore, Tyra Banks, Frank Sinatra, Rudolf Nureyev, Bjorn Borg, and Ringo Starr, to name just a few. Whether drawn by top races (Monaco Grand Prix, Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters), must-see events (Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Monaco National Day), iconic properties of the Société des Bains de Mer (Monte Carlo Casino, Hôtel de Paris Monte Carlo, Monte-Carlo Beach), or Michelin-starred restaurants (LeLouis XV, Rampoldi, Pavyllon Monte-Carlo), celebrities and luminaries from around the world continue to return time and time again. With exclusive images from the palace’s archives and a foreword by Prince Albert II of Monaco, Monte Carlo is a travelogue offering readers VIP access to the pearl of the French Riviera.
