&#8211; To visit the Prince&#8217;s Palace and watch the changing of the guard<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the most emblematic monument on the Rock, and more generally in Monaco, is the Prince&#8217;s Palace. It is impressive not only for its size, but also for its architectural styles, which reveal the history of the Principality. The origins of the palace can be traced back to a medieval dwelling built in the 13th century, while the rest of the facade (16th-17th century) hints at the Genoese origins of the Grimaldi family, the princely family.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Palais-Princier\/i-HqH9JN5\/0\/ab9bcf04\/L\/Monaco-palaisprincier-fac&#x327;ade-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Palais Princier facade.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interior is just as impressive. Only part of the building, the Grands Appartements, is open to visitors. Indeed, the princely family resides and governs in this Palace. Although some rooms were closed, as they were being restored, we really enjoyed the visit. It boasts a splendid main courtyard, numerous 16th-century frescoes and even the Throne Room!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Palais-Princier\/i-fKVGsKW\/0\/3bbca0ea\/L\/Monaco-PalaisPrincier-trone-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the throne.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life at the Palace is punctuated every day by the changing of the guard. At 11.55am, this solemn military ceremony took place in front of crowds of curious tourists gathered in the Place du Palais. The Prince&#8217;s Carabinieri, a military corps created in 1817, take turns ensuring the safety of the Palace and the princely family. Lined up in a row, they cross the square, handling their weapons to the sound of drums.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-prince-palace-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Palais-Princier\/i-STT2cfr\/0\/c812a834\/L\/Monaco-PalaisPrincier-relevegarde-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the changing of the guard.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#fefefe;margin-top:6%;margin-bottom:6%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">A LITTLE MORE <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">patience<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">All the photos, maps, information, good addresses to make <strong>your stay in Provence<\/strong> a success, will <strong>soon be gathered<\/strong> in a single ebook!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container ebook-radius-waitlist gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-image ebook-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ebooks_CorseNormandie_FR.png\" alt=\"Box Ebook Corsica FR\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 3 &#8211; For its museums<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monaco has some interesting museums.

We enjoyed our visit, because the 19th-century architecture and collections have been preserved, and stand side by side with particularly modern museographic features and exhibits. Plus, there&#8217;s a top-notch aquarium in the basement!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Mus&#xE9;es\/n-jxBCv6\/Mus&#xE9;e-Oc&#xE9;anographique\/i-wFbxXXc\/0\/c7cabfea\/L\/Monaco-MuseeOceanographique-aquarium-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of an aquarium at the Oceanographic Museum.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Oceanographic Museum, the Principality also boasts an institution that will delight car enthusiasts: the Prince Rainier III Collection. You&#8217;ll discover classic cars, emblematic models from Porsche and Ferrari, and even the car used by Prince Albert II for his wedding to Charl\u00e8ne de Monaco in 2011! The first floor is occupied by racing cars.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Mus&#xE9;es\/n-jxBCv6\/Mus&#xE9;e-Collection-Automobiles\/i-fmHHXvk\/0\/7dc67dba\/L\/Monaco-Automobiles-formule1-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the racing cars in Prince Rainier's automobile collection.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the art world, Monaco boasts a national museum, housed in 2 villas (Sauber and Paloma). Temporary exhibitions devoted to contemporary artists are presented here. Finally, a number of smaller institutions complete the museum landscape (Mus\u00e9e des Timbre et des Monnaies, Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;Anthropologie Pr\u00e9historique, etc.).  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-smugmug wp-block-embed-smugmug\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Mus\u00e9es\/n-jxBCv6\/Mus\u00e9e-National-Villa-Paloma\/i-8M4cBpm\/0\/afd10b00\/L\/Monaco-museevillapaloma-entre\u0301e-L.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag-on-earth.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Mus\u00e9es\/n-jxBCv6\/Mus\u00e9e-National-Villa-Paloma\/i-8M4cBpm\/0\/500x375\/Monaco-museevillapaloma-entre\u0301e-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Discover our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-museums-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best museums in Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\"\/>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#f1e7fa;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">OUR TPS FOR RENTING YOUR CAR IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">\nProvence<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list liste_voiture\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a <strong>car that is powerful enough <\/strong>(the roads are steep) but <strong>compact<\/strong> (some passages are narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember to take out<strong>comprehensive insurance<\/strong> (some roads are winding and narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a lot of demand, <strong>book it early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-3 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vieux-Nice-ruelle-L.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1302\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vieux-Nice-ruelle-L.png 421w, https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Vieux-Nice-ruelle-L-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=PL\" style=\"border-radius:4px;font-size:14px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See the cars<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"17\" class=\"wp-image-2851\" style=\"width: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ArrowRight.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/renting-car-provence\/\">See our tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 4 &#8211; For Monte Carlo: luxury and nightlife<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monte Carlo is Monaco&#8217;s most popular district, and for good reason! Here, you&#8217;ll find superb 5-star palaces with starred gourmet restaurants. These include the H\u00f4tel Hermitage, housed in a historic Belle \u00c9poque building with a splendid Eiffel dome, and the H\u00f4tel de Paris on Place du Casino. This square attracts tourists from all over the world, who admire the legendary Casino Monte-Carlo. If you don&#8217;t want to go there to play, it&#8217;s open in the mornings from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for simple visits.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Casino-Monte-Carlo\/i-xBgp3dM\/0\/5250da2e\/L\/Monaco-casino-fac&#x327;ade-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the fa&#xE7;ade of the Casino de Monte-Carlo.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this district, you&#8217;ll find a host of luxury boutiques and chic bars and clubs, such as the Buddha Bar, also a restaurant, where you can enjoy Asian cuisine in an impressive setting.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Restaurants\/n-58B7n3\/Fa&#xE7;ades-restaurants\/i-p5ZWsNQ\/0\/2d4433c3\/L\/Monaco-BuddhaBar-fac&#x327;ade-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Buddha bar.  \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of the Buddha Bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monte Carlo also includes Larvotto, home to Monaco&#8217;s only public beach of the same name. It is lined with restaurants. At the far end of the coast, you&#8217;ll find resorts such as the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel &amp; Resort, and clubs such as the Coya Bar.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Quartiers\/n-dzhZWm\/Larvotto\/i-pwJ7DB9\/0\/ad02fa80\/L\/Monaco-larvotto-immeublesplage-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of Larvotto Beach.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 5 &#8211; For its heritage<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to popular belief, Monaco has a rich heritage, particularly in terms of religious buildings. Right next to the station, take the time to visit the Church of Sainte-D\u00e9vote, typically Monegasque. In addition to the Church of Saint-Charles, Monte-Carlo boasts a concentration of monuments. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit the Chapelle de la Visitation, which was closed, but we did enjoy the Chapelle de la Mis\u00e9ricorde and its 17th-century Baroque decor. Finally, don&#8217;t miss the majestic cathedral where the members of the princely family are buried!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Cath&#xE9;drale\/i-kvnXs83\/0\/1a4b88cb\/L\/Monaco-cathedrale-nef-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Cathedral nave.  \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View inside the cathedral.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Religious monuments are complemented by other buildings, notably Fort Antoine at the end of the Rocher. This early 18th-century military fortress was destroyed in 1944, then rebuilt under the reign of Prince Rainier III. Today, it is used as an open-air theater and offers superb views of Port Hercule and Solarium Beach (an artificial concrete beach) below.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Th&#xE9;atre-Fort-Antoine\/i-sQc5MjD\/0\/f7479e1f\/L\/Monaco-theatrefortantoine-scene-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Fort Antoine theater.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#f1e7fa;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">PLAN YOUR STAY IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Monaco<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-monaco-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best things to do in Monaco<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-hotels-monaco-where-stay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best hotels to stay in Monaco<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-restaurants-monaco-where-eat-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best restaurants<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-museums-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best museums<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-gardens-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most beautiful gardens<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-beaches-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monaco&#8217;s most beautiful beaches<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-casino-monte-carlo-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit Casino Monte-Carlo<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-prince-palace-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit the Prince&#8217;s Palace<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-oceanographic-museum-monaco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit the Oceanographic Museum<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Itineraries: <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-1-day-monaco-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 day<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-2-days-monaco-itinerary-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 days<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-3-days-monaco-itinerary-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3 days<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-excursions-from-monaco-day-trips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Excursions from Monaco<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column ville-radius is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-portrait\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Casino-Monte-Carlo\/i-43DmvPp\/0\/4b24376f\/L\/Monaco-casino-vuedepuisjardin-L.jpg\" alt=\"Antibes\" style=\"object-fit:contain\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 6 &#8211; For its human-scale neighborhoods: La Condamine and Port de Fontvieille<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the Rocher, these two neighborhoods are our favorites. They are more human-scale than Monte-Carlo. In the Condamine area, we recommend a visit to Place d&#8217;Armes and its market. Admire the colorful facades and get an idea of what Monaco was like in the past. This square is surrounded by shopping streets where you&#8217;ll find numerous restaurants. In many ways, the architectural style of this part of the Principality reminded us of <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-do-nice-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nice<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Quartiers\/n-dzhZWm\/Condamine\/i-HWqjNgv\/0\/7477aeb9\/L\/Monaco-condamine-placearmes-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Place d'Armes.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fontvieille district lies on the other side of the Rock. Organized around a harbor, it resembles a French seaside resort. Primarily residential, you won&#8217;t find much nightlife here. On the other hand, it offers beautiful panoramic views. From the heights, known as the terraces of Fontvieille, you&#8217;ll have a beautiful view of the port and the Mediterranean. Our favorite view, however, is from the harbor, at night, of the monuments on the Rock, which are illuminated as soon as the sun goes down. We walked to the end of the dike, at the lighthouse, and were struck by the calm. What a pleasure to admire the Mediterranean as far as the eye can see!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Quartiers\/n-dzhZWm\/Fontvieille\/i-TQkgp3Z\/0\/1e334cc7\/L\/Monaco-fontvieille-vueport-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the port of Fontvieille.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 7 &#8211; For its gastronomy and excellent restaurants<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monaco boasts a wide range of quality restaurants. Here you&#8217;ll find many establishments serving world cuisine (Asia, Peru, Italy, the West Indies&#8230;), as well as numerous addresses revisiting French and Mediterranean gastronomy. Such is the case at Chez Pierre, where we tasted dark chocolate quenelles with praline bites.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Restaurants\/n-58B7n3\/Restaurant-Chez-Pierre\/i-jGwMGrC\/0\/8793b91e\/L\/Monaco-ChezPierre-dessert-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of dessert at Chez Pierre.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re on a budget, treat yourself to a Michelin-starred restaurant. There are 6 in Monaco. The most famous, and awarded 3 stars, is that of chef Alain Ducasse. The Louis XV is located in the splendid setting of the H\u00f4tel de Paris. For our part, we tested Pavyllon, Yannick All\u00e9no&#8217;s restaurant in the H\u00f4tel Hermitage. We were able to enjoy bold cuisine in a magnificent setting. Only the dessert was a little disappointing, but overall, this establishment richly deserves its Michelin star!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Restaurants\/n-58B7n3\/Pavyllon\/i-RhjJDMM\/0\/74b82228\/L\/Monaco-pavyllon-plat-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the flat at Pavyllon.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\"\/>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Read our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-restaurants-monaco-where-eat-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best restaurants in Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason 8 &#8211; For its green spaces<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to popular belief, the Principality has plenty of green space. Although small, we enjoyed walking around. In the Fontvieille district, a small garden located on the terraces of Fontvieille, the Unesco garden, is a pleasant place to take a break between 2 visits. However, it was the Roseraie de la Princesse Grace that most interested us, as we enjoyed discovering a large number of rose varieties, even if they weren&#8217;t all in bloom.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Jardins\/n-hTp3dg\/Roseraie-Princesse-Grace\/i-qqmwqm4\/0\/b39b6e7c\/L\/Monaco-roseraie-fontaine-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Princess Grace Rose Garden.  \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of the Princess Grace Rose Garden.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the Rock, don&#8217;t miss the Saint-Martin gardens. They offer beautiful sculptures, exotic vegetation and, above all, superb landscapes. In the Monte-Carlo district, take a stroll through the Jardin de la Petite Afrique for a beautiful view of the Casino. If you&#8217;re heading for Plage du Larvotto, take a stroll through the small Japanese Garden. Finally, although we weren&#8217;t able to visit it because it was under construction, the Exotic Garden must be well worth a visit.

The Principality lies between Nice and Menton. You can take the TER train to reach these 2 major cities in 30 minutes, as well as Cannes (1h15) and Antibes (1h). However, we recommend that you opt for a car, which will allow you to explore the region to the full.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the main journey times to give you an idea of the distances involved:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Driving time to Menton: 25min.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driving time to <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-do-nice-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nice<\/a>: 30min.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driving time to <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-antibes-france-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Antibes<\/a>: 50min.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Driving time to <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-cannes-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cannes<\/a>: 55min.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These times do not take into account frequent traffic jams.

The Place du Casino in Monte-Carlo and the Rocher are the most popular areas. If you have the chance, we advise you to go off-season! Because of this influx, and also because this coastline is densely populated, there can be a lot of traffic jams. A 30-minute journey to Nice can be made in 1 hour during rush hour! If you only want to visit the city centers, opt for the train. On the other hand, don&#8217;t hesitate to take your car to visit the hinterland, which is much less crowded!  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Quartiers\/n-dzhZWm\/Rocher\/i-D26pSVL\/0\/e0b09441\/L\/Monaco-Rocher-ruelles-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the crowds in an alley in Le Rocher.  \"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rates<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visiting the French Riviera comes at a price, especially in the Principality. Some accommodations and restaurants can sometimes seem very expensive, especially in high season or when events are taking place. We recommend that you book your accommodation and activities as early as possible, and invite you to consult our article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-hotels-monaco-where-stay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best hotels to stay in Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/H&#xF4;tels\/n-MhWPh8\/H&#xF4;tel-Hermitage\/i-NHrCWqn\/0\/00078cb3\/L\/Monaco-HotelHermitage-fac&#x327;ade-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the H&#xF4;tel Hermitage facade.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Principality&#8217;s layout<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Principality is built into the side of a cliff, you need to be in good physical condition to visit it on foot. Although there are public elevators to get from one road to another, they&#8217;re generally pretty slow, which is why we mostly took the stairs. We advise you to wear good walking shoes if you want to go to the heights of Monaco, as the climbs are steep. The city is very dense, built around main roads with many curves, and has few crosswalks. Although cars easily let walkers pass, take care when crossing. Finally, because of this particular layout, it&#8217;s easy to get lost.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend downloading the city map <a href=\"https:\/\/monservicepublic.gouv.mc\/content\/download\/48522\/file\/Octobre%202019%20-%20MONACO%20MALIN%20V2.pdf?inLanguage=fre-FR&amp;version=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>, which shows the location of escalators, public elevators and staircases.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Information is also available <a href=\"https:\/\/cvb.visitmonaco.com\/nos-engagements\/personnes-a-mobilite-reduite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a> on how to make your stay in Monaco easier for people with reduced mobility.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Pratique\/n-K4X7wk\/Pratique\/i-k8GgCLz\/0\/9b8d69fa\/L\/Monaco-pratique-ascenseur-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of a public elevator.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The weather<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monaco enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate.
