I have several friends who have visited the Hotel de Paris. It's Bel Epoque elegance is stunning, the very last word according to all of them.
Still, it would have been so wonderful if the bridal couple had taken to the dance floor of the Bal de la Croix-Rouge for their first formal dance as man and wife...
The hotel is so expensive, it is beyond belief. They have several restaurants studded with Michelin and Gault Millau recommendations, one of them led by Alain Ducasse, who is Dieu in the world of chefs and cooks. All this might be wow! to us but imagine that you are born and raised in Monte-Carlo and that all this, the arch-expensive bolides outside, the mega-yachts in the harbour, the Gucci, Prada, Versace-shops around the corner, that it is all just your natural habitat.... I think Donna Beatrice (with a family owning stunning islands for centuries) and Pierre Casiraghi do not even wink with the eyes. All very normal, is daily life for them...
