The gardens are just gorgeous! And you’ll be discovering a piece of history as well.
However, once you’ve finished playing, do take a wander outside. Of course, I can’t show you the glories of the inside (“Pas de photos, s’il vous plait!”), but the outside is a splendor. Not tie and tails, but definitely something better than shorts and flip-flops. Ill.: Īnd unlike most other casinos these days, you still have to dress up a bit to be admitted. Yes, Monaco is a country, but shows just as a little dot in the South of France, near the Italian border. And certainly, the building itself, a grandiose Belle Époque building designed by French Architect Charles Garnier, to whom we owe the Palais Garnier (opera) in Paris, France, is glamorous enough, certainly the most beautiful building of the Principality. It includes not only the casino itself, but the opera house (Opéra de Monte-Carlo) and the office of Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo. In many people’s mind, especially if you watched the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, it is simply the casino to visit.
