Monte Carlo Lifestyle

-






The permanent population of the ward of Monte Carlo is about 3,500, while that of the quarter is about 15,000. Monaco has four traditional quarters. From west to east they are: Fontvieille (the newest), Monaco-Ville (the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo (literally "Mount Charles") is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the quarter's western end is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).
The quarter's eastern part includes the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as its new convention center (the Grimaldi Forum), and the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. At the quarter's eastern border, one crosses into the French town of Beausoleil (sometimes referred to as Monte-Carlo-Supérieur), and just 8 kilometres (5 mi) to its east is the western border of Italy.
Monaco offers an exceptional lifestyle in the heart of Europe. Sunny summers are ideal for yachting enthusiasts. Come winter, a handful of ski resorts are located within a two-hour drive. Its attractions are epic scale, from the Formula One Grand Prix to the famed Casino de Monte-Carlo Casino, an architectural masterpiece with its bas-reliefs, frescoes and sculptures. So many want a piece of this seaside city-state that native Monegasques are minorities in theiThe Monte Carlo district is a jewel in the Grimaldi dynasty crown. The priciest of Monaco real estate is in the Carre d’Or area around the glitzy central square, Place Du Casino. Modern luxury high rises overlook Larvotto Beach.

 This manmade waterfront neighborhood, which includes sports facilities, a heliport, marina and restaurants, was created from land reclaimed from the sea in 1981. The quarter of La Condamine is one of the oldest, home to Port Hercules, Monaco’s only deep-water--and megayacht-jammed--harbor.r own country, making up just 20 percent of the population.
