A bit of History about Monaco

 Historically, Monaco was part of France, but in 1215, it became a colony of Genoa (Italy) through a land grant from Emperor Henry VI. The Grimaldi family settled in Monaco in 1297 and ancestors of the family have controlled the principality for over 715 years now.

 In 1419, the Grimaldi family acquired Monaco from the French ruling family of Aragon. Monaco has since been under Spanish, Italian and Sardinian protection. In 1793, French revolutionary troops captured Monaco, keeping it until 1814, when the Grimaldi family returned to power. Today, Monaco is governed by a constitutional monarchy, but is a protectorate of France.

 In 1949, Prince Rainier III ascended to the throne of Monaco and married the beautiful American actress, Grace Kelly in 1956. Prince Rainier III played an important role in bringing economic prosperity to the area and his wife played a large part in promoting the arts and bringing glamour to the small nation. Together, they had three children, Caroline, Albert and Stephanie. 

 Reach Monaco

 Once you arrive in Monaco, enjoy a panoramic tour to get your bearings. Drive along the F1 Grand Prix track, admire the Casino square, the Café de Paris, the Marina and drop off near the Palace to take some pictures. Then it will be time for you to enjoy your evening in the chic atmosphere on Monaco. Dine in one of the prestigious restaurants of the Principality (at own expense) then why not try your luck at the Grand Casino.
