The epicenter of the Principality, La Condamine in Monaco is the district that best evokes the Monegasque art of living. Bordering Port Hercule at the foot of the ancestral rock, it is also a gateway to the Fontvieille district. Its bourgeois and modern buildings are in the front row to attend the most important events of Monte Carlo such as the famous F1 Grand Prix of Monaco or the Monaco Yacht Show.
The Condamine district: The Monegasque art of living
It was during the last quarter of the 19th century that this district, which still exudes its authenticity, was built and attracted a wealthy Monegasque clientele thanks to its more modern buildings and its exceptional geographical location in the heart of Monaco.
Mainly known for its market whose stalls flourish on the pink cobblestones of the Place d'Armes, La Condamine is a shopping district dotted with restaurants and boutiques where it is pleasant to stroll along its pedestrian street Princess Caroline or the streets Millo, Grimaldi and Terrazzini for example.
