Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast France make a tour to Monaco（摩纳哥）, too. Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality（公国）, though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.
Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.
Facing the blue Mediterranean（地中海）, Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince（王子） stands, and Monte Carlo（蒙特卡洛）, which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around 500,000 people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.
