Just a few miles east of Nice, France is the tiny Country/State of Monaco (full name= Principality of Monaco).
Although Monaco isn't a part of the European Union, it still plays an important role. Monaco is really just one big town, but likes to think of itself as four separate areas. Monaco Ville is the old town, built on the rock; Monte Carlo is the glitzy area north of the port; La Condamine is the port itself; and Fontvieille is an industrial area south-west of the port. A system of public lifts lugs pedestrians up and down Monaco's steep hillside.
Here you can see the capital Monte Carlo from a distance.
