Monaco and Nice
Monaco, a small but sovereign nation, is best known for
Monte Carlo. This is the main casino, for serious gamblers.
Atop the Rock of Monaco is the Prince's Palace and other
buildings used by the royal family. Prince Rainier III, who
married the late Princess Grace Kelley, still rules Monaco.
Nice on the French Riviera, features it's beach and old town.
Nice's curved beach faces the Mediterranean Sea.
As fashionable capital of the Rivera, it does not seem to
matter that Nice has a beach of pebbles rather than sand.
