Fonteville Panorama

This is the elite residential area in Monte Carlo. Each roof of these buildings has been aranged as a tropical oasis, with luxurious swimming pools and other stuff for relaxation. The area around the buildings resembles a well tendered botanic garden.

Residents of Fonteville can see their yachts down in the port from their windows. And on that rocky cliff in the middle are some of Monte Carlo attractions like the Prince's Pallace, zoo, and the Oceanographic Museum on the right.

Here's how it looks from above. Monaco coast is steep and rocky so most buildings are crowded almost on top of each other. This seems to be the only place with some space around.

This is the plateau of that rocky cliff in the Monaco-Ville area. You can get here by a public elevator from the lower street level, or by stairs on the north side. And here is the home of...uhmmm, that guy that runs this place.

All those buildings and they say that Monte Carlo has around 3000 permanent residents. I guess it's more classy to reside in Hotel de Paris, drink cofee in Casino Caffe and watch those RR's, Ferraris and Bentleys roll down the street, than dwell in some cramped apartment.
