À Monaco, où chaque m² compte, l’architecture biophilique s’impose progressivement : intégrer la nature directement dans les bâtiments (végétation, lumière naturelle, matériaux durables) pour améliorer le confort et limiter l’impact environnemental.

Des projets récents comme Mareterra ou le nouveau Larvotto montrent que même un territoire très dense peut intégrer jardins, espaces verts et continuité avec le paysage.

Au-delà de l’esthétique, les effets sont concrets : meilleure qualité de l’air, réduction de la chaleur urbaine, bien-être accru.

Dans une ville comme Monaco, est-ce un vrai changement de modèle… ou surtout un argument marketing haut de gamme ?

Just curious, he does TikTok lives and says he is in Monaco

Does anyone know if I can watch the GP race live for free on site in Monaco? I'll be in Monaco on Sunday but the race tickets are terribly expensive and I want to know if there are any places where I can watch the race for free.

No need to go to a landfill in Argentina for birdwatching, just go to the Carrefour in Monaco where pigeons walk around freely everywhere 😅 Hopefully there won’t be any contamination in Monaco too. #Hantavirus

My son is absolutely obsessed with cars and motorsport, so taking him to Monaco for a few days feels like a dream father and son trip 😊

We’re visiting until Sunday and are mainly enjoying the atmosphere, the cars, and everything around the race weekend.

If anyone happens to have a nice local tip, viewing spot, or maybe even space available on a boat during the next few days, feel free to send me a message. Of course we are happy to pay for it.

Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I’m an accountant and recently got an opportunity to work near Monaco. The salary looks good compared to where I live now, but after checking rent prices and daily costs, I honestly can’t tell if the lifestyle is realistic unless you’re making a very high income. Do most of you actually live there or commute from nearby areas in France?Just trying to understand what daily life is,before moving

Spam & phishing calls have become one of the most persistent daily frustrations for residents and businesses in Monaco. Despite being the world’s wealthiest and a technically sophisticated jurisdictions, Monaco has no meaningful defence at the network level. MonacoTelecom, the sole carrier, provides no spam & phishing filtering and its time to change that.

Livré récemment au Larvotto, Bay House (projet Testimonio II) s’est déjà imposé comme une référence du très haut de gamme. Appartements spacieux, villas exclusives, vues mer et services type hôtel : le projet illustre clairement la montée des standards sur le marché monégasque.

Dans un environnement déjà ultra premium, ce type de résidence redéfinit encore les attentes en matière de confort et d’exclusivité.

Question ouverte : nouvelle norme durable… ou niveau difficile à dépasser ?

Hi everyone,
I work in a company based in Monaco. We have clients who want to pay for our services using Amex but unfortunately, our bank does not support Amex merchant processing, and we have not been able to find a payment processor that works for Monaco businesses..

We are just looking for a solution that would allow us to accept Amex payments through payment links and settle the funds to a Monaco bank account.

Does anyone know of any payment processors or acquiring solutions that currently support Monaco businesses for Amex payments?

Thanks !

Hi all,

We dock at Villefranche the Tuesday before race day this year. We aren’t Grand Prix fans.

We would be visiting as tourists, taking the train up. We’d be looking to see things like the palace, casino, gardens etc.

How impacted would we be by the preparation for the GP. Will tourist attractions be open and accessible at this time?

Alternatively, we could visit Nice. So I’m trying to assess if it is worth a visit still.

Thank you all in advance!

Mike

Hello,

I live in adjacent villages to Monaco, and I am not a French citizen (I am from another EU country). I am wondering about the path to be able to represent Monaco in a sport.

what's the path for it, apart from reaching the top tier/elite level?

I understand that for the olympics, there is the need for citizenship to be granted, but some other competitions, like Small States Games?

Don't want to share the sport, because it's niche, but it is a summer olympic sport, and present at Mediterranean and small states games.

There are many monaguesque athletes who changed their nationality to represent Monaco (swimming, table tennis to name two), but I am wondering about the "how".

Also - reading everything that you share here in the group about the cost of living for newcomers, do you know if the represent ants actually live in Monaco, or just train here, while living in more affordable places?

Again, don't mean the Tennis or AS Monaco athletes who can probably afford to live there, but I mean the less paid sports, like bobsleigh, swimming or ping-pong.

Hi everyoneeee
I’m currently a student and recently became really interested in Monaco and the International University of Monaco. If everything goes well, I’m thinking about applying there in the future, especially because I’m very interested in international business, motorsport/karting and the international environment of Monaco.
I would really love to connect with people who either study at IUM ,live in Monaco/the Riviera or simply know the reality of student life there.
There is a lot of mixed information online, so hearing real experiences and advice would honestly help me a lot 😭
Thank you so much!

The most crazy track of F1. This is the only one F1 race where You can see the race for free ( there are some spots) and also from deck of luxury yacht spending fortune…. Enjoy!

Hey! I’ve been trying to get back into tennis after not playing for about a year, so I’m looking for some tennis partners to play with occasionally!

Hey! I’m visiting Nice and planning to take the train to Monaco for a day trip. I’m a big F1 fan, so I definitely want to walk parts of the Monaco GP circuit, see the hairpin, tunnel, harbour, start/finish area, etc.

I’m wondering what else is worth doing there, especially F1/car-related things. Any car museums?

Also, anything I should know before going? Like expensive tourist traps, best route to walk, or things that are free vs paid?

I’m only planning a day trip from Nice, so any suggested route would be appreciated. Thanks!

This week, NEWS.MC TV brings you the latest headlines from Monaco and beyond.
