Monte-Carlo, a showcase for refined shopping
Carré d'Or: the epicenter of Monegasque luxury
Carré d'Or, the heart of Monte Carlo, is THE emblematic district for luxury shopping. This area is home to the world's leading fashion houses, who have chosen to set up their most refined shop windows here. Avenue des Beaux-Arts is a veritable invitation to a journey into the world of luxury. Dior, Alexander McQueen, Piaget and Cartier offer prestigious collections.
A little further down Avenue Monte-Carlo, you'll find Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Goyard and Hermès. The area is also a cultural and architectural meeting place. Belle Époque style rubs shoulders with contemporary buildings, creating a harmonious setting. This is where One Monte-Carlo was created.
Promenade Monte-Carlo Shopping: fashion reinvented
Opening in 2019, One Monte-Carlo will enhance the Carré d'Or and redefine the codes of shopping in Monaco. Located between Place du Casino and the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, the Promenade Monte-Carlo Shopping unfurls 60,000 m² of prestigious window displays. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Céline have all taken up residence here, in a contemporary setting where greenery, transparency and design intertwine.
In addition to its 24 luxury boutiques, One Monte-Carlo, on Avenue Princesse Alice, is also home to high-end residences, offices and cultural spaces. The city's aim is to offer a global experience. Strolling between the Promenade's tall buildings, you'll enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of the Casino. It's the ideal place to shop for the latest collections from the most coveted fashion houses.
Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo: refinement and discretion
A few steps away, nestled beneath the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo unfurls its prestigious marble to welcome luxury enthusiasts. More confidential than One Monte-Carlo, this upscale shopping center in the Carré d'Or houses some 50 boutiques. These include luxury brands such as Allude, Boss, Chiara Boni, Eden, Gucci Kids, Isabel Marant, Jacobson, Missoni, Vilebrequin and Yves Delorme.
Its hushed, chic atmosphere appeals to a discerning clientele in search of intimacy and elegance. Here, the service is meticulous, the spaces air-conditioned and the decor inspired by the great Italian palazzi. It's the ideal address for a quiet shopping break from the bustle of the Principality.
Boulevard des Moulins: elegance and diversity
Boulevard des Moulins is also well worth a visit. Running from the Park Palace to the Boulevard d'Italie, this historic thoroughfare embodies another facet of shopping. Here you'll find a fine selection of independent boutiques, galleries, chic ready-to-wear brands, jewelry stores and perfumeries.
The Allées Lumières shopping arcades under the arcades of the Park Palace, also part of the Carré d'Or, are home to boutiques such as Jean Jacques Monte-Carlo (selling Kiton, Canali, John Lobb, Rota), Atmosphère (offering shoes by Sergio Rossi, Aquazzura, Jimmy Choo, Dolce & Gabbana, etc.) and jeweller Ferret. Further up the avenue, past the Monaco Tourist Office, is the Dolce & Gabbana boutique. Moving up towards Boulevard d'Italie, other ready-to-wear brands proudly display their windows (IKKS, Aubade, United Colors of Benetton).
