You may laugh but I am not
referring to the gorgeous black clutch featured with lion heads in Montecarlo's
Gucci store. Monaco oozes wealth and a high standard of living. I
have no doubt in my mind that some of the world's most sophisticated dining
takes place along this part of the Riviera.
If you prefer to skip the fancy
meals and make your own, then select gammon off the bone from a délicatesse counter. Pair this
with marinated tomato slices and salads, and you may end up in the highest
clouds of heaven. These really are the perfect fillings for
a sandwich. Even the simplest food bursts with flavour in this part
of the world.
But be warned, you will be surrounded by treat
foods in every corner. Gorgeous pâtisseries will call out to your belly and taste
buds. You are on holiday, so why not try
something. I certainly could not resist
the charm of this strawberry fraisier.
It's essentially a little cake that is filled with
cream.
This take-away pizza stand is a good example of ridiculous portion sizes. Keep walking! You will want to save your calories for pretty treats.
Here's more of those mouth watering, calorie loaded desserts. The key is to look and admire and select only one that can be shared.
With the hefty price tags attached, you may be satisfied just by looking alone!
Walk off treats along the coast and take in the mind blowing views. This particular walk started in the Monaco / French border and finished not far from Cap d'Ail.
At the end of the walk you'll be greeted with a beach where you can enjoy a lovely swim. Another excellent calorie burner. You could also enjoy a picnic here. There are plenty of restaurants that you'll walk past on the way if you prefer to dine indoors.
