Monaco Grand Prix 2014, the Glitz, Glamour and the Racing!

Monaco may be small – the entire principality could fit inside London's Hyde Park – but it packs a punch.
The Monaco Grand Prix has been eagerly-anticipated and should be on everyone’s ‘to do list’, the atmosphere this year was absolutely electric and not just during the race dates!

Monaco has been the epicentre of all racing activity In the 85 years since the first Monaco Grand Prix in 1929.  The cars may have evolved enormously into the amazing Formula one vehicles we see today, But the Monaco track layout and many of the buildings and the harbour and cliffs surrounding it have remained almost exactly as they were way back then...

The city of Monaco is a sought after destination in its own right all year round, with people wishing to stay in some of the many splendid and luxurious Belle Epoque Mansions in close by Cap Martin, Eze, Beaulie and Cap Ferrat, all just a short drive to Monaco, but the city really reaches fever pitch during the Granx Prix week  when the famous harbour stipe jostles to house an even  larger than average number of  ‘super yachts’ all demanding prime views of the track, their decks heaving under the weight of the very rich an d famous with their advantageous  and relaxed view of the race whilst sipping champagne along with their entourage.



The glamorous city has wealth of luxury shops and boutiques where you can find all the top designers such as Christian Dior which will certainly satisfy the most insatiable shopper not to mention the fine cuisine which is has a heavy Italian influence.
