Avenue de Monte Carlo (Monte Carlo Avenue), Monte-Carlo

The Monte Carlo Avenue is a major thoroughfare of the Principality, lined with a huge number of high-end and luxury boutiques, featuring international brands, such as Hermes, Gucci, Valentino, Lalique and many others. There are also numerous restaurants and cafes where one can treat their taste buds, provided he/she can afford it, to the exquisite dishes of the French Riviera and international cuisines, drinks and craftsmanship sweets.

But perhaps just as much, at least by motorsport enthusiasts, the Monte Carlo Avenue is noted as the location of the Circuit de Monaco, which is part of the Formula One Grand Prix that takes place in the city each year. In May, when the local weather is most favorable for the race, the streets of Monaco are turned into a Formula One track. A good portion of it passes through Monte Carlo, including the Monte Carlo Avenue, much to the delight of the locals and multiple international fans flocking to see it up close.
