THE CITY STATE AT THE SEA
The Principality of Monaco is situated on the Mediterranean coast between the French city of Nice and the Italian city of San Remo. The small principality offers a variety of fine hotels and major sights. It is surrounded by France, with which it forms a customs and currency union. With an area of almost two square kilometers, which could be accommodated almost at the Munich Olympics grounds, it is the second smallest state in Europe after the Vatican.
Monaco has been a meeting place for the High Society for more than half a century. It is therefore no surprise that the small principality on the Côte d’Azur has a number of exclusive shopping areas to offer. It is true that only a few spots on the earth are identified with luxury like Monaco or Monte Carlo, which is correspondingly high the density of fine boutiques in the small principality.

In the Nobel boutiques of the “Carré d’Or” and the Gallery of the Allées Lumières you will find a wide selection of fashionable international luxury labels such as Hermès, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada and many others.

There is a large selection of shopping opportunities in the La Condamine district. More than 100 boutiques make shopping in the district at the Hercule harbor a diversified pleasure.
