MARCH 2015 MONACO




“The man who seeks to educate himself must first read and then travel in order to correct what he has learned.”   -    Casanova

2 DAYS IN MONACO & FRENCH RIVIERA

Sunrise above the coud

                               Benvenuti alla riviera francese -:) Atmosfera italiana sul suolo francese ...

                    Local breakfast with an Affigato coffee with vanila ice & a mentonnaise bun
Depend if you arrive by helicopter.If not you have the bus line 98 from the airport to Massena place then another one azur line 100 for just 1€50 to reach Nice to Monaco or further Menton offering a wonderful panoramic view of houses build in the rock and sea in your right side.
Bus will allow you to have a panoramic view of the Mediterranean with shades of blue on your right and and sumptuous villas built in the rocks on your left.
                                                      If you do not have vertigo, of course.
Before the VIP evening at Art Monaco, The adventurous than I am led me to Menton after a lunch at Nice from the popular & pedestrian street.
I was surprise cause my impress was to be in Italy. Even my mobile has captured the Italian network ... Amaizing, France is the europe in miniature.



Time to  enjoy the glamor evening of contemporary artists. I have to find THE Gallery for the artist that I manage.


Mission accomplished, time for relaxation and sightseeing.
It sunny, people are cool, The environment is luxurious.Outdoor music is played by two violinists.The is a beautiful park nearest "Place du Casino" for breathe green & clean air but i need more so i will need to climb. 


The rock of Monaco  is the best place to be for fresh air, panoramic view, meet the last rare pillars of Aboriginal culture away from the glitter of Monte Carlo. And i was lucky to see th ePrince going out the castle at that moment without the groupies around.


                      The architecture is beautiful, tight but it's a rock. Anyway the walk is pleasant.

And you can still cross the pillars of Monaco living there for generations but are scarce. A delight to talk with them about the history of this rock.
                                              The post is orginal with  its refined character, 
The pedestrian streets have a charm and some traders of yesteryear filled with anecdotes if you are getting a feeling with them

                                                                             Just be here to understand why this strategic place has been choose in the past for build this castle
                                                    Far away from Monte Carlo uproar
                                                     Another attraction is the luminosity
                     The cherish over the cake is the deeper panoramic vertigo view of Monte Carlo


                                                  Tour of the rock  doesn't take half a day
If you are sportive it can be done by foot another alternative is the bus station just front the street of the post office.
                         Avenue Princess Grace is shop street with a wonderful Church to visit

                                             End this walking journey with a plancha of langoustine


                                    January sunrise bright sunshine with a wonderful view on the sea



                                              Let have a green walk at the exotic garden
                                                with line 6 & line 2 entrance cost 7.20€

                                                                    A variety of cactus and

                                                             
                                                                   tropical rare plants

                                  A supernatural beauty as this geant cactus from Argentina


                             Time to leave Monaco with splendid view on the hairbour
