European royalty family information. MonteCarloStripOnline provides
information on Monaco, including the history of Monaco and information
on European royalty and the Monaco royal family.
History of Monaco The official language is French, although Italian and English are widely spoken. The traditional
Monegasque language, "le Monegł," is spoken amongst elders and is taught in all local schools. The currency is French francs. Monegasque coins with the same face value as French coins are also used.
For 700 years, the history of Monaco has been linked to that of the Grimaldi Dynasty which celebrated in 1997, the anniversary of its accession to the Principality.
Benefiting from an ideal geographical location, the principality enjoys very mild winters and remarkably sunny summers, which tend not to be exceedingly hot. In fact, the results of a 60-year study show that
the average temperature is 61° F, rain falls on less than 60 days per year and the sun shines seven hours a day on average. Sea temperatures vary from 52° F in the winter to over 79° F in the middle of
summer. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, it is a pleasant place to live all year round. In addition, it is worth noting that ski resorts in the Alps are only an hour's drive away. MonteCarloStripOnline is your source for great information on Monaco
including the history of Monaco, European royalty and the Monaco royal
