Monte Carlo is host to most of the Circuit de Monaco, where the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix takes place and this race is very important to the people who live here. James Bond, a fictional British spy we sometimes wish was real, is often associated with the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Monaco; and the Casino de Monte Carlo was the location for a number of James Bond movies, including ‘Never Say Never Again’ and, of course ‘GoldenEye.’ When you are in Monte Carlo, you feel like you are in an old time movie; and Monte Carlo and its glamor seem to sing to you. But even if Monte Carlo seems like a place for grownups, there are still fun things for kids to see and do! You can even pretend you are a spy working with James Bond! Just use your imagination and open your eyes wide!
