There are so many iconic images of Monte Carlo: the port with its luxury yachts, the casino, the Hôtel de Paris and the Monaco Grand Prix but probably it was Princess Grace - the beautiful American actress, Grace Kelly, who married Monaco's Prince Rainier - who really put it on the map.
Today is Theme Day with 136 participants from all over the world taking part. Do take time to visit them and see what other bloggers think is considered iconic about their cities.

Ah yes, the fairytale that came true. Nice choice!

Of course they do! I always think of the Grimaldi curse......
Nice choice, even the background (sun & mountains) says "Monaco."
yes, the princess indeed!
btw, you are so lucky to have such blue sky!
yes, i definitely think of the Grimaldi family.
What timeless beauty!
I wonder how many dreams she inspired in wannaba filmstars?
Princess Grace certainly was a lovely lady. Thanks for reminding us!
Oh yes, absolutely, I thought she was wonderful. Beautiful, talented and very ladylike. A true Princess. Oh, i'm sad now.
tres beau choix, Grace Kelly etait vraiment belle (et une superbe actrice)
It's a beautiful place. On my only visit so far Stephanie had just released her record. Which I still have.
Good job on this one
Oh yes, good choice. Nobody has forgotten her beauty.
She was America's princess too! I love all her movies, but I think my favorite is "High Noon."
Good choice among so many possibilites! She was an elegant woman.
un bon choix bien réalisé
You forgot to mention Jilly!
Jilly reminds me of Monte Carlo! :-)
I would have to agree on this choice. I still have the postage stamps of their wedding! How awesome was that. Every little girl in the world knew with that marriage that "dreams can come true"!
She was such a beautiful woman, wasn't she? I think you hit it on the head!
But of course! Every girl's dream, to marry a Prince and live in a beautiful kingdom. Happy Theme Day!
You couldn't have picked a better photo!
Brilliant.
Well done--perfect choice!
My wife would have thought of Princess Grace while I would have thought of the Monaco Grand Prix first.
Good choice, Jilly. The human factor counts!
Monte Carlo DP and the city are full of grace! My first thought was of the casinos...shows where my minds at! :-P
Very beautiful. I have enjoyed seeing all of your photos and getting to know Monte Carlo better.

Any of your choices would have been great but Princess Grace truly is extraordinary.
Yes, that is who I think of...wasn't she such a classic beauty?
No doubt!! And formula 1 too.
I agree! Who can ever forget the day Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly got married?

Elle était vraiment belle!
Ahh what a surprise for me! :)
After Wednesday's post I thought for sure you were going to show us something from the Grand Prix.
But you are quite right. Princess Grace really is probably who I think of when I think of Monaco.
good choice! she was very beautiful, and i assume still popular there?
i too think of Grace Kelly. As a matter of fact, we just watchd teh movie, "To Catch a Theif" last week. Wat could be better than a Cary Grant movie with Grace Kelly? A Cary Grant movie with Grace Kelly filmed near Monaco.
Princess Grace....that says it all....nice photo.
Good Choice!

I think you chose best of best from the topic. I normally say Monaco GP as a fan of race, but this is better.
Somehow when I think of Manaco it is luxuary yachts and the Grand Prix. But Princess Grace will do very well - she also makes me think of the movie High Noon, where she starred with Gary Cooper.
Exactly what I think of! She was very lovely.
gotta love princess grace...
