It was sadly our last day in Monte Carlo today. By the time that you are reading this, we'll be back home and dreading going back to work next week. So we decided to make the best of our time left in Monaco. After packing and checking out, we went for a stroll around a park that was opposite our hotel in the Fontvieille. It was a good sized park with lots of flowers and statues of all kinds. We then got a bus to Casino Square, and sat outside the Cafe de Paris and watched the world go by whilst drinking some vary tasty hot chocolate. There were lots of expensive motors parked up that were attracting a lot of attention. But when you've seen one Lamborghini...
I was very pleased to see a small number of classic cars do the loop around the square. They seemed to be part of a group that were doing a run along the South of France. So I was busy snapping away. So too were a number of other photographers, probably all tourists. Here's a rather splendid MG, whose driver had stopped for a minute outside the casino, so people could take pictures of his pride and joy.
Super shot of a gorgeous car. What a nice guy to stop and let people take photos. So glad you went back to the Cafe de Paris. For a car enthusiast like yourself, Casino Square is a great place to see posh cars as you know, but you got lucky with the classic cars. I went to ArtMonaco on your last day - did you go the day before? Outside were lots of electric cars, including some innovative ones - presumably? - but you know I'm not much up on cars.
ReplyDeleteLovely car! It's an MGA from the late 1950s and three prototypes of this car took part in the 1955 Le Mans 24 hour race.
