Monaco (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | The Principality of Monaco, known as Munegu in the local dialect, is a city state and the second-smallest country in the world, wedged in between the Mediterranean Sea and France along the French Riviera or Côte d'Azur (The Blue Coast). |
 | | Monaco is divided into four sections or quarters (quartiers): Monaco-Ville, the old city on a rocky promontory extending into the Mediterranean; La Condamine, the section along the port; Monte Carlo, the principal residential and resort area with the casino; and Fontvieille, a newly constructed area reclaimed from the sea. |
 | | Monaco is not a member of the European Union, but it is very closely linked to it via a customs union with France and as such its currency is the same as France's: the euro. |
