Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo is most populated area of the Principality of Monaco and well known for its casino and wealth. Monaco as a principality has signed up to the Euro and the official language of the principality is French. The city has a population of just under 4,000 and was founded in 1866 and named after the reigning prince, Charles III of Monaco.

In the 1850s the reigning family of Monaco were nearly bankrupt and in a bid to stop this Charles III allowed a casino to be built in Monaco. Initially it wasn’t a success, however it grew steadily thanks to the installation of railway in 1868, that allowed the rest of France to access the principality. Due to this Monaco saw an influx in people and therefore wealth.

Thanks to its casino and the fact that Monaco is a tax haven Monte Carlo has become a extremely wealthy place, with many showcase events being held there. These include the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the most prestigious race on the F1 calendar, the European Poker Tour Grand Final and the Monte Carlo Masters tennis event. This all adds to the making of Monte Carlo as one of the major tourist resorts in Europe, along with other attractions, such as Monaco Cathedral and the Napoleon Museum.

Lying on the Mediterranean coast Monte Carlo’s climate is hot and dry in the summer and mild in the winter, adding to its appeal.
