Monte Carlo Travel Series Book - Blue

The Monte Carlo book explores the culture, history, and opulence of the iconic Mediterranean principality through authored narrative and imagery. Authored by Ségolène Cazenave Manara, it covers the layered contrasts of the enclave, from baroque landmarks like the Musée Océanographique de Monaco to contemporary structures such as Foster + Partners' Yacht Club de Monaco. Its coverage spans the sovereign family's preservation of heritage alongside the area's association with luxury sports cars, super-yachts, and high-end residences. Part of the Travel Series, the volume is presented with a blue cover finish.

Defined by glitz and glamor, and situated on an exclusive two-mile coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, Monte Carlo has long been synonymous with luxury and wealth. Assouline's 'Monte Carlo' takes note of the over the top opulence associated with the principality while also exploring the culture and history of this rocky promontory, where the sovereign family ensures that heritage is preserved and appreciated. The result is an enclave where expensive sports cars, luxury apartments and super-yachts sit alongside monumental baroque buildings like the Musée Océanographique de Monaco, contemporary architecture including Foster + Partners' Yacht Club de Monaco and the 12th century Prince’s Palace of Monaco. Authored by Ségolène Cazenave Manara, 'Monte Carlo' is the latest addition to Assouline's Travel Series.
