Monaco and the sea

Résumé

Monaco and the sea

Is it really possible to dissociate Monaco from the sea, to sever this marriage both beautiful and stormy ? From time immemorial to the birth of the town, with its evolution into a city of the future, everything has been inextricably linked to this 'symbiosis'. With its unique position overlooking the immense sea, the Principality of Monaco has been able to prosper and enjoy its influence being recognised throughout the Mediterranean. The Sovereign Princes' vision and boldness, coupled with scientific research and technical innovation, have demonstrated their fervent desire to protect and respect their maritime territory. This book establishes the indissociable link between the history of a country and its natural heritage, and constitutes a call for environmental responsibility.
