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. Temperatures hit a high of around 27C in the summer
months and only go as low as 6C in the winter. The
principality also sees very little rain, even during the
winter months.
