Monaco (i/ˈmɒnəkoʊ/; French:[monako]), officially the Principality of Monaco (French:Principauté de Monaco), is a sovereign city-state and microstate, located on the French Riviera in Western Europe. France borders the country on three sides while the other side borders the Mediterranean Sea. Monaco has an area of 2.02km2 (0.78sqmi) and a population of about 37,800; it is the second smallest and the most densely populated country in the world. Monaco has a land border of 4.4km (2.7mi), a coastline of 4.1km (2.5mi), and a width that varies between 1,700 and 349m (1,859 and 382yd). The highest point in the country is a narrow pathway named Chemin des Révoires on the slopes of Mont Agel, in the Les RévoiresWard, which is 161 metres (528 feet)above sea level. Monaco's most populous Quartier is Monte Carlo and the most populous Ward is Larvotto/Bas Moulins. Through land reclamation, Monaco's land mass has expanded by twenty percent. Although small, Monaco is very old and quite well known, especially because of its status as a playground for the rich and famous, who are a spectacle for tourists and an economic engine in the Mediterranean. In 2014 it was noted about 30% of the population was made up of millionaires, similar to Zürich or Geneva.
Monaco were a side project of New Order bassist Peter Hook. Together with David Potts, the only remaining member of Revenge, the band was formed in 1995. The group is best known for the 1997 single "What Do You Want From Me?" and the album from which it was taken, Music for Pleasure, which sold over half a million copies. Hook and Potts currently work together in The Light.
Follow-up album "failures"
In 1999, Polydor Records rejected Monaco's follow up album, the self-titled Monaco, due to the radically changing trends in music at the time in a money saving move reducing their artists to the more popular music. Papillon Records agreed to pick up the album, though the planned single release of "I've Got A Feeling" was recalled in the UK due to sample clearance issues. Despite favorable reviews, the album was released with almost no promotion at all; it is now sought after as a collector's item and fetches fairly high prices on sites like Amazon.com and eBay.

Saint-Charles Church on Monte Carlo's Avenue Sainte-Charles was completed in 1883. It was restored in its centenary year.
The municipality of Monte Carlo was created in 1911, when the Constitution divided the principality of Monaco into three municipalities. Monte Carlo encompassed the existing neighborhoods of La Rousse/Saint Roman, Larvotto/Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel. The municipalities merged in 1917, after accusations that the government used them to «divide and conquer». Since then, they are wards (quartiers). Today, Monaco is divided into 10 wards, with an eleventh planned (but currently postponed) to encompass land reclaimed from the sea (see the «Administrative divisions» section of Monaco for additional details).
The quarter of Monte Carlo was served by tramways from 1898 to 1931. It linked all parts of Monaco (see transportation in Monaco). In 2003 a new cruise ship pier was completed in the harbour at Monte Carlo.

Informally the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter (corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo), which besides Monte Carlo/Spélugues also includes the wards of La Rousse/Saint Roman, Larvotto/Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel.

From west to east they are: Fontvieille (the newest), Monaco-Ville (the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo (literally "Mount Charles") is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the quarter's western end is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).
The quarter's eastern part includes the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as its new convention center (the Grimaldi Forum), and the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. At the quarter's eastern border, one crosses into the French town of Beausoleil (sometimes referred to as Monte-Carlo-Supérieur), and just 8 kilometres (5 mi) to its east is the western border of Italy.

🔎 Située au cœur de la ville de Menton, l'église Saint-Michel est l'un des joyaux de l'art baroque des Alpes-Maritime. Sa première pierre fut posée en 1619 le prince Honoré II de Monaco et Nicolas Spinola, évêque de Vintimille dont dépendent Menton et Roquebrune alors que Monaco dépendait de l'évêque de Nice.
✝️ Les travaux de terrassement débutent réellement en 1639 et l'église est ouverte au culte en 1653. Il a fallu araser les superstructures de la redoute Saint-Antoine afin d’obtenir une plate-forme permettant de réaliser le souhait du prince Honoré II. Le 8 mai 1675, Monseigneur Maur Promontorio, évêque de Vintimille, consacre la nouvelle église en présence du prince Louis Ier.
🚧 En 1701, l’architecte monégasque, Emmanuel Cantone, élève un majestueux clocher de 53 mètres de haut, qui devient l'emblème de la ville de Menton.
⛪ La façade actuelle, surélevée de quelques gradins au-dessus du parvis, a été réalisée au XIXe siècle dans le style baroque en usage au XVIIe siècle.
☑️ Trois portes ouvrent sur les trois nefs et sont surmontées de trois niches abritant les statues, au centre de saint Michel l'archange, patron de Menton, à gauche de saint Maurice, patron de la Maison de Savoie, et à droite de saint Roch invoqué contre la peste.
📏 La nef haute de dix mètres et vingt de large, est constituée de quatre travées de cinq mètres soixante et dix. Le chœur, lui, a sept mètres quatre vingt dix de large. La voûte principale est en berceau et percée de lunettes dont les petites fenêtres laissent filtrer la lumière.
✍️ Derrière l'autel au fond de l'abside est accrochée une tribune supportant un buffet d'orgue de style italien datant de l'instrument construit en 1666 grâce aux libéralités de la famille Pretti de Saint-Ambroise.
🌠 Les nefs latérales sont composées d'un grand nombre de petites chapelles aux retables baroques dont certaines ont le plafond peint en trompe-l'œil.
🥇 L'église Saint-Michel de Menton a été proclamée basilique en mars 1999, par décret du pape Jean-Paul II. Il s'agit d'un site incontournable lorsque l'on est de passage à Menton.

🔎 Située au cœur de la ville de Menton, l'église Saint-Michel est l'un des joyaux de l'art baroque des Alpes-Maritime. Sa première pierre fut posée en 1619 le prince Honoré II de Monaco et Nicolas Spinola, évêque de Vintimille dont dépendent Menton et Roquebrune alors que Monaco dépendait de l'évêque de Nice.
✝️ Les travaux de terrassement débutent réellement en 1639 et l'église est ouverte au culte en 1653. Il a fallu araser les superstructures de la redoute Saint-Antoine afin d’obtenir une plate-forme permettant de réaliser le souhait du prince Honoré II. Le 8 mai 1675, Monseigneur Maur Promontorio, évêque de Vintimille, consacre la nouvelle église en présence du prince Louis Ier.
🚧 En 1701, l’architecte monégasque, Emmanuel Cantone, élève un majestueux clocher de 53 mètres de haut, qui devient l'emblème de la ville de Menton.
⛪ La façade actuelle, surélevée de quelques gradins au-dessus du parvis, a été réalisée au XIXe siècle dans le style baroque en usage au XVIIe siècle.
☑️ Trois portes ouvrent sur les trois nefs et sont surmontées de trois niches abritant les statues, au centre de saint Michel l'archange, patron de Menton, à gauche de saint Maurice, patron de la Maison de Savoie, et à droite de saint Roch invoqué contre la peste.
📏 La nef haute de dix mètres et vingt de large, est constituée de quatre travées de cinq mètres soixante et dix. Le chœur, lui, a sept mètres quatre vingt dix de large. La voûte principale est en berceau et percée de lunettes dont les petites fenêtres laissent filtrer la lumière.
✍️ Derrière l'autel au fond de l'abside est accrochée une tribune supportant un buffet d'orgue de style italien datant de l'instrument construit en 1666 grâce aux libéralités de la famille Pretti de Saint-Ambroise.
🌠 Les nefs latérales sont composées d'un grand nombre de petites chapelles aux retables baroques dont certaines ont le plafond peint en trompe-l'œil.
🥇 L'église Saint-Michel de Menton a été proclamée basilique en mars 1999, par décret du pape Jean-Paul II. Il s'agit d'un site incontournable lorsque l'on est de passage à Menton.
