Europe's most expensive real estate

Monaco is a country in Western Europe located along the French Riviera between the Mediterranean Sea and France. It is one of six microstates located in Europe. Monaco is one of the most expensive places on Earth. As of February 2007, Monaco had Europe's most expensive real estate, ahead of even London. The principality is often regarded as a tax heaven, and most of its inhabitants are millionaires from other countries.

Photo taken from my car window before we enter Monte Carlo.

Het Vorstendom Monaco grenst aan Frankrijk en de Middellandse Zee. Het dwergstaatje heeft een oppervlakte van 1,96 km² en telt 32.671 (2007) inwoners. Daarmee is dit het dichtstbevolkte land ter wereld. Hoewel Monaco ingeklemd wordt door de Europese Unie is het land geen lid van de EU. Het dwergstaatje staat internationaal bekend als een mondaine badplaats en belastingparadijs met veel casino's, high society en een jaarlijkse Grand Prix in het Formule 1-autoracen. Het heeft naast het nationale voetbalelftal ook een eigen voetbalclub, AS Monaco die in de Franse competitie speelt.

Prachtig zoals Monaco aan zee ligt,
maar zo jammer dat het zo vol is gebouwd.....!

I would much rather prefer 1 of the smaller towns U have in your pics.
