Thanks for the living room photos, during the 70s several photos were taken there. Apparently it kept the same decor from when Grace was alive till Rainier's death. I saw several years ago a photo of Albert in the living room and he had redecorated it. There was a painting of Charlotte attending 2000's Grand Prix (the famous pink scarf photo). Albert also changed the upholstery of the couches in the Hall of Mirrors where Grace's painting is.

Where do the doors on the Gallery of Hercules lead to? I suppose those who've been to the Palace tours can answer, unless those doors/rooms are locked and not on view during the paid tour. Thanks.
I have seen the dvd on the Prince's Palace produced by A&E, and it said that the Gallery of Hercules lead to the Hall of Mirrors. I'm wondering how the rooms are laid out in the tour.

Thanks Zubiar for your response ... Always the expert 
Is the Army's room/Officer's room lavishly decorated? I don't think a photograph of it has been featured ... it's always the Throne Room, the Blue Room and the Gallery of Hercules that are featured. Beautiful rooms, but kinda boring that we always see the same stuff. I've read that the palace consists mostly of offices and that there are only a few suites for visiting royalty (Rainier and Grace, by Jeffrey Robinson).

Where is the entrance for the Grimaldis to the palace? I mean not on the square before the palace... And where can you travel by car to the palace? Does it have garage? And where is the way to it?

The Palais de Monaco, along with the whole Principality - is now on Google street view.

He's Stephen Falcke (a German name ?)
He studied interior design at the Chelsea School of Art.
He worked for David Hicks, and he's done boutique hotels and domestic work. He has got several awards.
He derives inspiration from nature, and he sees his style as a melting post of different cultures.

I read sometimes ago on a princess Grace's biographie that the living room gave on the place of the palace.
For the redecorate of the palace, he was not redecorate from the times of the Princess Grace, it is normal that the couple will decorate and want to design again the apartment they want a new home for a family. It was an apartment for a bachelor. As it is privat, they will pay with their money. I recall to have read that the gift of the wedding of Princess Grace needed to redecorat also the palace. Princess Grace decorat several times the palace.

After Rainier married Grace they built a new wing to the palace for their private appartments.
I guess that's were Albert and Charlene will live too.

Hmm, do you really think so?
I always thought it is at the pool, where you see the grey roof, the most private part because of the trees.
I guess we will never really know for sure! The block you mean would be directly at the gate and so directly at the front where all the tourists hang out.
Imagine Albert or Charlene waking up and looking through the window, yawning to the people outside. Lol.
