Visit the Cote D’Azure with single trip travel insurance from Essential Travel

If you are looking for a European holiday with a touch of class then the Cote D’Azure can’t be beaten. Situated on the southern coast of France and in close proximity to the Italian border the Cote D’Azure benefits from a cosmopolitan feel. There are many towns along the coast which each have their own feel so exploration is recommended.

Take a single trip to the cote D’Azure – Monaco

Monaco is probably the most famous place on the Cote D’Azure. Synonymous with money and style the principality is a tax haven for the rich and famous. Roger Moore lives here as do the Formula 1 racing drivers David Coulthard and Jenson Button. The town is built between the sea and the mountains and is spit into two parts. Monaco and Monte Carlo.

Monaco is at sea level and consists of a harbour which is home to many huge yachts, with restaurants, hotels and shops adorning the surrounding streets. There are a surprising number of mid range hotels to be found in this area of town and the position of Monaco centre is great for exploration of both the town itself and the beach which is located just around the harbour to the east. The beach is fairly small but is sandy and ideal for a day of relaxation.

Monte Carlo is set up on the hill and consists mainly of Casino Square. Casino Square is home to the Grand Casino which is located at the southern end of the square overlooking the sea. The Casino is surprisingly welcoming to tourists and you don’t have to be James Bond to enjoy an evening there. The dress code is smart casual so a shirt and trousers for men and a casual dress for women is perfectly acceptable attire. The main gambling room is large and consists mainly of roulette and blackjack tables. There are a couple of bars on the outer edges of the gambling room where you can celebrate or commiserate your luck.

Casino square is full of beautiful flower gardens and fountains. Parking is easy as there is a huge underground car park underneath the square itself. To the east of the Casino is the most famous restaurant in Monte Carlo – the Café De Paris. The Café De Paris is a huge art deco affair which specialises in al fresco dining and has a beautiful open air dining area. Music is supplied live by on stage performers and the food, wine and service are excellent. If you prefer to eat indoors the Café De Paris also has a large indoor dining area which is also beautifully decorated. The Café De Paris isn’t cheap but is highly recommended as a treat while you are in Monte Carlo. To the west of the Casino lies the Hotel De Paris. This is a strictly high budget affair but boasts the best location in the whole of Monte Carlo. The Hotel De Paris has many balconies overlooking Casino Square itself so you will always be right in the middle of the action.
