An unusual visit in the heart of Mento city to discover on foot the rich architecture of this city with an incredible heritage, stemming from the splendor of its past under the sovereignty of the Princes Grimaldi of Monaco, its status as an important fishing port, and then its glorious urban development during the Belle Epoque (palaces and sumptuous hotels).
