VPG-DVD-138 - MONACO Located between Italy and France on the Côte D`Azur, the Principality of Monaco is renowned for its high society, Grand Prix and scandal and the cost of a square metre of land is the most expensive in the world. After the Vatican, it is the smallest yet most unique sovereign state in the world. Monte Carlo's Casino is undoubtedly the principality's most famous landmark. Designed by the architect of the Paris Opera House, Charles Garnier, this superb casino was built in 1878. With the opening of the casino, this previously relatively poor mini State, developed into the famous principality it is today. La Condamine is the harbour district, with its typical French atmosphere and overlooking apartments it connects Monaco Ville with Monte Carlo. Luxury yachts anchor in the harbour throughout the year and travel from all over the world to visit this much sought after tax haven and exclusive casino paradise. On the large rock plateau of Le Roche, Monaco Ville is crowned by its royal palace that was built in 1215 on a former mighty Genoese fortress. The Neo Roman Monaco Cathedral was built in around 1897. The large interior is dominated by the main altar that was designed by Louis Brea. This is also the location of the grave of ex-Hollywood actress, Princess Grace Of Monaco who died tragically in a car accident. Monaco is certainly a place of wealth and prosperity. But the sunshine and its wonderful location on the Côte D`Azur makes it a fascinating place to visit.

GTR-DVD-1175 - The stone-built church of the Mission San Carlos Borroméo De Carmelo rises above the southern district of the picturesque and romantic coastal town of Carmel in the United States. The Carmel Mission was founded in 1771 when Father Juniperro Serra, from Mallorca in Spain, was responsible for the building of the first missionary stations in the United States. The Mission possesses one of the most important and beautiful collections of religious works of art in California. Today only a few of the former twenty-one missions are in good condition. They were all once located alongside California's six hundred kilometre King's Road and over the years Carmel's unique climate has transformed the Mission's gardens into an exotic paradise that contributes to the idyllic character of this religious complex. Right up to the present day the Carmel Mission has managed to retain several pages of American history that would otherwise have been lost forever.
