From our stay in Breil-sur-Roya, we drove to the principality of Monaco, where we were immediately welcomed by an impressive view of the many luxurious yachts in the harbor. A delicious cappuccino with a cookie at Garden Perk gave us the perfect start to the day.
We explored the city on foot and enjoyed a beautiful walk along Avenue d'Ostende, with views of the yachts and the iconic architecture of Monaco. The grand Monte Carlo casino, the countless Lamborghinis, and the exclusive atmosphere completed the picture. Amidst the glamour, we also discovered the cozy, narrow streets in the heart of the city, where the charm of old Monaco is still palpable.
What made the experience extra special was that Monaco was fully preparing for the famous Formula 1 Grand Prix. Everywhere, grandstands were being built, temporary buildings were being set up, and streets were being prepared for the big event. It was fascinating to see how the city transformed into a racetrack.
For a well-deserved break, we stopped at Pattaya, a cozy place by the water, where we enjoyed an Aperol and a delicious tapas platter. After a day full of impressions, we certainly couldn't leave without a delicious ice cream as a finale.
Monaco enchanted us with its mix of luxury, elegance, and cozy corners - a day to remember!
