FRENCH RIVIERA - SIGHTSEEING Sightseeing in the Riviera, Principaute de Monaco: The Principality of Monaco is comprised of three main parts : Monaco (the Rock and Prince's Palace), La Condamine (a bustling shopping area at the foot of the Rock) and Monte-Carlo, the central area around the Casino with the classiest hotels. An independent sovereign state located between the foot of the Southern Alps and the Mediterranean, the Principality of Monaco borders on several French villages: La Turbie, and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. At the foot of the southern Alps, in the far south-eastern corner of France, bordering the Mediterranean sea, the Principality of Monaco benefits from an exceptionally mild climate which makes it a particularly sought-after destination. Its climate is extraordinarily mild due to the combined influences of the Alps and the Mediterranean, thus making Monaco a place where one can make the most of sea and mountains. Constant exposure to the international community, modernity, and sheer determination have all contributed to the Principality's ability to develop and ensure its independence. The very origins of the Principality illustrate this; over seven centuries the Princes of Monaco have transformed what was once barren land and arid rock into an economic success story.

The Grimaldi family seized and then bought the Domain of Monaco from the Genoese in 1308. The Principality of Monaco is a sovereign state of only just under one square mile. It consists of: Monaco, the old town; Monte-Carlo, the new town; La Condamine which links them and Fontvielle the industrial section.

Monaco, sinds 1191 a possesion of Genoa , becomes in 1297 a feudal posession of the family Grimaldi inside the Republic of Genoa. From time to time is under full control of Genoa. The Genoese protectorate shifts to Spain in 1524. In 1641 it develops into the Principality of Monaco under a protectorate of France . France annexes the principality in 1793 and renames it Fort-Hercule. In 1815 the principality is restored and becomes a protectorate of Sardinia The protectorate shifts to France in 1861. Monaco's sovereignty is recognized by the Franco-Monegasque Treaty of 1861. From that moment on Monaco can be considered independent. In 1911 the absolute monarchy is replaced by a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. In 1918 a treaty is signed providing for limited French protection over Monaco. The treaty establishes that Monegasque policy is aligned with French political, military and economic interests. The executive is headed by the minister of state, who is a French citizen appointed by the Prince for a 3-year term from among several senior French civil servants proposed by the French Government. Monaco is occupied by Italy between 1942 and 1943 and between 1943 and 1944 by Germany. Femal suffrage is introduced in 1962.

Boards Monaco Introduction A Little History Planning a Trip ... Index A Little History The Shaky House of Grimaldi Monaco, according to Somerset Maugham, is 149 sunny hectares (370 acres) peopled with shady characters. According to a 1918 treaty, Monaco must maintain an ongoing stream of male heirs to retain its independence from France. The tax-free principality is the oddest fiscal and social anomaly in Europe, a blend of Las Vegas hype and aristocratic glitter whose luster has been sorely tarnished since the demise of Princess Grace ("a snow-covered volcano," said Alfred Hitchcock). The marriage of the world's most eligible bachelor and the Hollywood golden goddess dominated headlines in April 1956. However, like Grace and Rainier themselves, the marriage did not age gracefully. Rainier's snide public assessments of his celebrity wife's accomplishments showed an unpleasant rivalry. In turn, Grace, beneath her cool veneer, was a lonely and frustrated woman who sought solace in a string of affairs. The children of this ill-fated union have rebelled against the strictures imposed on them by their less-than-noble parents. More at home in the watering holes of big-city Paris than in the claustrophobic and judgmental homeland, they take turns being the one most likely to shock the multinational residents of their tax-free domain.

The Grimaldi Family's Reign In 1997, the Principality of Monaco celebrates the 700 years reign of the Grimaldi dynasty. It all began on January 8, 1297 when the Guelt Francois Grimaldi dressed as a Franciscan monk, seized the fortress protecting the famous rock and the port of Hercules. Surmounting the trials and tribulations of history and throughout the dark periods of foreign domination, the Principality has managed to affirm its identity and preserved its independence throughout the centuries due to the wise guidance of its Princes. Thus, at the threshold of the third millennium, it will celebrate its commitment and loyalty to the Grimaldi family, its territory and community. On January 8, 1297, Francois Grimaldi took power of the Monaco fortress. In the book, "Monaco, its Origins and History ", the indisputable authority on Monaco's history, author Gustave Saigne relates the details of this paramout turning point in the history of the Principality : " During the night of January 8, 1297, a monk appeared at the gates of Monaco. Inconspicuously, Francois Grimaldi was let through. Barely having entered the enclosed grounds, the imposture monk threw himself over the guards, apparently few were holding watch, and a full pledged attack was launched as the large Guelf troops, which had been hiding closely behind concealed by the obscurity of the night, forced the gates before the guards could react. " By his actions, Francois Grimaldi forever engraved the family name on the flanks of Monaco's rock. Until that moment, its situation had remained precarious as events of the years preceding 1 297 witnessed:

Its space is limited (195 ha.), but the site is enchanting and unfolds along a narrow coastal strip four kilometres long, bounded by the mountainous foothills of the Tête de Chien and Mount Agel. The city is made up of four districts: Monaco-Ville, the historical seat of the Principality, situated upon the Rock where the Prince's Palace stands,Monte-Carlo, the district surrounding the Casino, La Condamine, around Port d'Hercule,Fontvieille, the new industrial district, built on ground gained from the Sea (22 ha.).
