La Condamine: a district of Monaco with authentic charm and shops
Stroll through the windows and along rue Grimaldi
The shop windows of La Condamine are an invitation to stroll. Rue Grimaldi, the district's main shopping street, runs through this jewel of Monegasque life. Its architecture and variety of shops make it a place not to be missed.
You can linger in front of a ready-to-wear boutique, admire designer jewellery, or treat yourself to a quick lunch in a brasserie. Rue Grimaldi perfectly symbolises the balance between theauthenticity of old Monaco and a modernity that is still very much alive.
The official shop of the Automobile Club de Monaco is the perfect place for motorsport enthusiasts. Here you'll find a selection of clothing, accessories and collectors' items in the colours of Monaco's major events, from the Monte Carlo Rally to the legendary Grand Prix.
Rue Princesse Caroline and the Jardins d'Apolline
Rue Princesse Caroline, a pleasant pedestrian thoroughfare in the heart of La Condamine, has a peaceful atmosphere and a wide variety of shops. Here you can stroll under the orange trees, between terraces, local shops and local brands. Not far away, the Jardins d'Apolline are home to practical, modern addresses such as Starbucks and the official AS Monaco shop.
Marché de La Condamine, the beating heart of the district
The historic La Condamine market on Place d'Armes is a must-see. Open all year round, it brings together around twenty traders selling fresh produce, local specialities and flowers. Market gardeners, butchers, bakers, pork butchers, fishmongers and florists all contribute to the unique atmosphere in the market hall and outside.
This friendly place also comes alive at lunch and dinner times, when you can find a table to eat with products bought directly on the spot. Monegasques and tourists alike love meeting up here to chat, share ideas and immerse themselves in the daily life of the district.
