Glamour, Cars and Yachts in Monaco

Monaco has always been a gathering spot for glitter and luxury, appearing to be exclusively for the highest echelon of society. From the ancient opera theater, constructed by Charles Garnier, the same architect behind Paris's Palais Garnier, to the cluster of boutique stores and the carefully maintained gardens, there's much to see and do in this charming microstate of opal, coral, and periwinkle-colored buildings. In Monaco, debauchery is woven into the fabric of every encounter.
