At the Heart of Monaco, Guided tour of Monte-Carlo & Mareterra - TOUR IN ENGLISH

Introduction

Who has never referred to Monaco by mentioning Monte-Carlo? Named after Prince Charles III, this famous district has made the Principality known throughout the world.

Without Monte-Carlo, Monaco would probably not have become the internationally renowned destination it is today. A symbol of prestige and transformation, the district evolved over just a few decades into a global legend.

The story begins during the Belle Époque, when aristocrats flocked to the Monte-Carlo Casino, propelling the city-state onto the international stage.

This guided tour retraces the remarkable story of a district that became both a world-renowned centre for gaming and culture, and the cradle of an urban vision unlike any other.

Today, that story continues with Mareterra, a new eco-district built on land reclaimed from the sea, bringing together some of the world's leading contemporary architects. A remarkable engineering achievement that perpetuates Monaco's spirit of boldness while embracing tomorrow's environmental challenges.

Blending historical heritage, little-known stories and contemporary challenges, this tour reveals Monaco from a fresh perspective, where the past meets the future

Exhibition – The Wedding of the Century

At the crossroads of European monarchical tradition and American-style promotion, the "wedding of the century", to quote the expression used in Le Figaro on 4 April 1956 by journalist Pierre Macaigne, undoubtedly left its mark on the minds and contemporary history of Monaco. Through photographs, moving images, sound recordings, jewels, dresses, gifts and unpublished archives, the exhibition route allows visitors to discover the key figures, locations, highlights and behind-the-scenes of a week of festivities, organised in just three months, from the spectacular arrival of Grace Kelly on the morning of 12 April, to the departure of the princely couple on honeymoon on the evening of 19 April. While the wedding ceremonies between Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly do not feature in the Mythologies of contemporary current events decrypted by Roland Barthes (1915–1980), they could very well have been the subject of study by the semiotician in the work he published in 1957, so significant was the Monegasque event, thanks to its exceptional media coverage for the time, the varied production of souvenirs and the proliferation of its various memories.Further information is available on the [Prince's Palace website](https://www.visitepalaisdemonaco.com/en/).
