Tour to the French Riviera, Monaco

MONACO

In contrast, in Monaco's day tiring because here many mountains, often have to climb down.

Monaco is one built on the hillside of the city, an area of less than two square kilometres. The station's structure is very interesting and is located on the hillside, in the South, exit at the foot of a crossing to the North of the coast, from the top of the Hill not far from the outlet, is standing at the border, and the entire country of small it can be seen. As Monaco does not collect the personal income tax, attracted the rich compete in prices so high, at least more than double in Nice. Saw real estate advertising on a set of two bedroom value six million francs. In order to save money, I can't even lunch are brought from Nice.

Monaco has two will come to a place that is a parent to the Royal Palace, is the Grand Casino.

Pro-Palace in West Highland, 12 noon, the whole ceremony is changing but stylish than many other European royal families to eat. Parents can't come in here to visit the Royal Palace, but in the high ground overlooking sea views are also very good. Casino at the eastern end of the city, the surrounding open garden fountains, flowers, rich and meteorology. Gambling slot machine where you can feel free to enter, Roulette and blackjack lobby you will need to purchase 10 euros, you also need a Passport registration, probably afraid of occupational old haunts in this Millennium. In fact, truly advanced casino is said to only open at night, so I went for that afternoon is not busy, around the table edge of dress, a bet on one common maidservants of ear. However my rough estimate the quantity of chips on the table, each Bureau Chief Duzi nor under 10 000 euros. Some old man goes in the gambling table, between 500 lost here, where lost 500, win batting an eye. I'm off to secretly.

Monaco's postcard stamped oil stamp is good souvenirs, this small Principality under the European stamp I just missing the beginning Don Johnston.

On the way back to Nice when a thunderstorm after the Nice or driving. There's a bus stop shelter from the rain, I turned up at the tourist information Office, get free information on Monaco, was surprised to discover this small country's main economic income should not rely on tourism, which is a high-technology industries such as pharmaceutical, precision instruments, etc., more than half of the national output.

As nice as transit centre you can go to many French towns along the way from 178 km to forty kilometres.

Antioch cloth in 15 km west of Nice, is spent his last Picasso, Pablo Picasso Museum, the city has built a stone Castle by the sea. Here visitors at least, the entire town is very quiet, tourists are also relatively rare, common people, the small farms are open. The most famous in the small town of Cannes is. Here the beach frequented, also in April weather, only a dozen or so of the sea, the beach is full of sun-tanning. Facing the beach there is a large cinema, I wonder if is not is an annual Film Festival concerts. In the movie little square East, floor tiles, dozens of five-pointed star and sloppy difficile of names, is the so-called Avenue of stars. Cannes city streets is a compact and elegant, the distance between the junction is only a short period of ten years. Ground with color tiles that were springing up with fine boutiques and cafes.
