The Domain of the Privileged
We were bored out of our shells this Friday since we have a prolonged holiday until Monday, so we decided to drive to adjoining Monaco, about an hour by car from Fontan.
Bordering the cool Mediterranean sea, the place can be easily recognized by the sudden projection of skyscrapers between the sleepy towns of Menton and Beaulieu-sur-Mer. The national road leading to the place was quite minuscule but very luxurious; let me just remind you all that this is also where the equally glamorous American actress Grace Kelly used to be the princess. That makes the view, while driving towards the very exclusive gambling capital of Europe, simply stunning.
We were rendered stunned by the beauty of Monaco, the magnificence of its panorama, its port with huge private yachts, the imposing Royal Palace built on a giant rock, and the modern-day labyrinth of apartments and office buildings. Monaco is located on top of rocky peaks so it is mind-boggling to imagine how apartments and houses were designed on the natural spaces created by the giant rocks.
The interiors of Monaco's apartments are patterned after the most lavish hotels; the old-world feel of the villas and the government buildings are simply amazing. We could clearly see that everyone has lots of money and there is a huge amount of wealth all over the place, which makes the option of living there applicable to only a special few people.
