Overview of Monte Carlo in 1915
Picture was taken from near the castle of the Prince of Monaco. WOW! Monte Carlo was different then! Half a dozen boats in the harbor is now a hundred. The hillside is now populated beyond belief. Many more of our postcards can be found on eBay |
Tramway in Monte Carlo
Picture was taken from near the casino of Monaco. The first Grand Prix was in 1929 and pictures from the race show race cars crossing the tram tracks. The tram in Monaco was built in 1898. It used stud contacts instead of overead wire (appearance: no overead wires) The studs were replaced with overhead wire in 1903 when the Nice tram reached Monaco. Operation of the trams went to Nice T.N.L. system in 1908 and the line closed in 1932. |

The Oceanographic Museum is a museum of marine sciences in Monaco-Ville, Monaco.
Inaugurated in 1910 by its founder, Prince Albert I, this exceptional museum of marine sciences is a monumental architectural masterpiece with a grandiose façade rising majestically
above the sea to a height of 279 feet. It took 11 years to build, using 100,000 tons of stone from nearby La Turbie.
The museum's holdings also include a great variety of sea related objects, including model ships, sea animal skeletons, tools, weapons, etc.
An aquarium is housed in the basement of the museum which showcases a spectacular array of flora and fauna. 4000 species of fish and over 200 families of invertebrates can be seen.
It features a presentation of Mediterranean and tropical marine ecosystems. Jacques Cousteau was its director for many years, beginning in 1957.
Besides a museum and aquarium, it is involved in studying the polar ice caps, the Antartic region and global warming. Monaco sponsored an expedition to the North Pole. |

Monte Carlo view of Forum Grimaldi. This is a most magnificant exhibition and cultural center.
It is right on the Mediterranean Sea. In Summer, 2007, this center hosted an exhibition on
the life of Grace Kelly.
The Grimaldi family has reigned over the "Rock" for 700 years. Despite its restricted space, Monte-Carlo is an enchanting place, where everything is combined for entertainment and leisure. This town is a heaven of peace and serenity. |

Monte Carlo Grand Prix is about the most famous race in the World. |
|
| The Casino is magical and crowded with the most famous and richest people in the world. All of them gather for one of the major events of the year: the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, which takes place in the streets of the city. The nights are marvelous: charity dinner or gala organized by the Grimaldi family in its Palace, dancing in night-clubs such as The Living Room, gambling in the Casino. |

Monaco - Monte Carlo is one of the smallest states in the World (195 hectares, that is to say 482 acres, between the Mediterranean sea and the mountains). Actually, it is a "state in the state" with its own Constitution and His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco. The oceanographic museum with its gigantic aquarium full of sharks and coral, the casino, the opera house and the princely Palace are magnificent buildings designed by renowned architects such as Charles Garnier. |

Beausoleil (it: Belsole) is a town and commune of the Alpes-Maritimes département, in southeastern France.
It is a neighboring town of the Principality of Monaco.
Beausoleil was formerly known as Haut-Monte-Carlo. Beausoleil adjoins the Principality of Monaco. The "border" is city streets. One knows which town they are in by the sidewalk (Beausoleil has sidewalk tiles with a sun face). Beausoleil overlooks the Mediterranean Sea just above Monaco and has a beautiful year-round climate. Beausoleil is situated between the beaches and the winter sports area of the Alps. See a map of Beausoleil (and Monaco) |
