About Monaco & Monte-Carlo
Though roughly the size of Central Park, the independent and sovereign
Principality of Monaco has managed to maintain its mystique as Europe's most
cherished enclave. Synonymous with royalty, glamour and excitement, Monaco
continues to attract international pleasure seekers to the 'jewel-box of the
Riviera.' Monaco's undiminished reputation as a first-class gaming destination
is complemented by an enduring commitment to the arts, by the preservation of
its cultural traditions and by the protection of the environment. Monte-Carlo,
its most famous district, owes its fame to the casinos. Associated with the
most elegant of parties, gambling has been the ruling master of Monte-Carlo
since 1863, when Prince Charles III inaugurated the first great casino. A
monumental work of art dedicated to lady luck, heads of state and
international stars flock to the world's best gaming tables to try their luck.
But the choice of location has widened to include other first-class casinos
such as the Cafe de Paris, the Sun Casino, and the Salles des Palmiers, which
now add to the Principality's most famous pastime.
