Monte Carlo, France

Monte Carlo is in the principality of Monaco and it is a favorite port of call for many cruise visitors to the Mediterranean. Monte Carlo is tiny and sits on a large rock named Mont Des Mules overlooking the sea. A road separates Monaco from France, and you hardly realize it when you are moving between the two countries. There are about 30,000 residents of Monaco, of which the citizens, called Monegasques, make up about 25 per cent of the total populace.
