Monte Carlo and the Eastern Borders of the Country.

The distant hills that disapear behind ship rigging are in France.
The land jutting into the water with a light colored four-story builing surrounded by greenery is entirely man-made. The building you see there is a sports complex.
Beyond that (out of our sight) is Monte Carlo Beach.
