Spooned by France, Monaco is bathed in fantasies along the wondrous Cote d’Azur. A visit to this miniature Mediterranean paradise is an invitation to luxuriate in moments of pure delight and an atmosphere of peace, relaxation, and well-being. Since then, Monaco's mild climate, scenery, and gamblers' safe haven have contributed to the principality's status as a prestigious holiday and leisure destination. The country's economic development was spurred by the opening of the state's first casino, the Monte Carlo Casino, in the late 19th century and the railway connection to Paris. Monaco lights up the world with its legendary beauty, dazzling glamor, and authentic style.
