Monaco

We recently visited the south of France for our summer holiday with my parents.  Basing ourselves in Nice we aimed on visiting as many of the places we could down there.  Top of my list for Monaco.  We had visited about five years ago and I fell in love with it and always promised I would go back.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't so great, about 35 degrees which is ok but 93% humidity which is not!  In fact it was like it all week so not ideal for sightseeing.  Weather aside it was fantastic.

Monaco is an amazing place to visit and sightsee.  I can't being to describe the allure it has for me.  Old architecture steeped in history combined with new.  I think I will let the photos below do the talking.
