The Duke of York bedroom is impressive too but not often photographed.

Yes there are several beautiful State Rooms. They are open during the year when they are not used and i once visited it.

Though State visits are very rare I often wondered if there's a banquet room at the Palace.

In a docu I have seen, there was no banquet but a large dining room, which was used to feed state guests - with everything you would expect: a "master of cermony", stewards, a big kitchen to cook for the guests, very old table clothes with woven in coat of arms etc.

Thank you, @Blog Real, for this wonderful little video.

Monaco is such a beautiful location. And all the beige-colored and ochre houses, including the palace, a nice place!

Albeit I am asking myself, if they chose these colors there because of the vicinity of the sea - because the humidity would lead to mico-organisms and those would make white colored buildings looking dirty very fast. But honestly, I have no idea and Monaco looks simply cool, anyway!

The Prince’s Palace of Monaco underwent restoration work ,during which Renaissance-era frescoes were discovered.

The work done looks fantastic and I love the outdoor corridor ceilings and walls.

I wonder has the Christmas Tree and Nativity scene been put up this year in the Palace Courtyard?
