Fontvieille

Fontvieille is a district completely reclaimed from the sea. The Principality made use of modern technology to build this area and in return Monaco chose to accommodate high-tech and non-polluting companies within it.

Naval Museum
Monaco’s Naval Museum is the result of one man’s passion. From a very early age, Professor Claude Pallanca dreamed of sailing and meticulously built model ships. During his military service, he was assigned to the Jeanne d’Arc as a dental surgeon, where he established friendships with many sailors and naval officers, and his passion for boats and the sea grew.  
The museum is currently closed for refurbishment (for an indefinite period).
