It became apparent that the Principality needed a harbour, able to accommodate the large number of yachts that visited the Côte d'Azur and to help open up the commerce of the area.

The construction of a port would complete the modernisation of the Principality and would at the same time be an important new source of prosperity. In order to maximize the space available, it was decided to build two quays, which still serve as the main walles of the harbour today. The work started on the 2nd July 1901 en the project was completed in 1926.

Princess Caroline Street

Highlight • Settlement

It would be a shame to miss the pretty little pedestrian town centre of the La Condamine district. At the heart of the district is the Rue Princesse Caroline, a very pleasant pedestrian street that connects the Rocher district to Port Hercule. And where a nice row of shops, bars and restaurants can be found, in a town that is otherwise generally very quiet
