Monaco Expands… on Stilts?

Posted in Europe, Travel tips by Stephanie on the June 2nd, 2008

Monte CarloMonaco is small – really small. Its entire population is only 33,000 but that doesn’t stop it from being the most sought after spot in the world by the rich and famous. It is one of the most expensive countries to live in as well as one of the most lavish. And it’s about to expand, thanks to good old stilts technology.

Now when we think stilts we think clowns swaying to and fro over us at a carnival. Well yes, it will go something like that minus the clowns and the swaying (we hope!). By using extensive oil rig technology, the annex will include room for yacht docks, shopping, and more living space.

Though many environmentalists are extremely concerned, including the ruler, the eco-friendly Prince Albert, the wealthy who call this place their playground want more Monaco no matter what the costs.

The expansion is to take place over nearly a decade but only time will tell who will win in the battle of eco-maniacs vs. the snobs.

If you want to see the before and after shots of Monaco book a stay at the Ambassador or Tulip Inn Monaco Terminus now, and then in about 15 years to see the post work.
