This lady has the best fun feeding the gulls and pigeons on Larvotto beach. Don't you love her private 'island' on the beach...

Rue des Acores
Monaco isn't all Belle Epoque hotels, super yachts and beautiful people.

The market on Place d'Armes is just above us to the left.

The 76 year old star of 'And God Created Woman' has been asked to stand by the Ecology Party. In a letter to Mr Sarkozy, she told the president that 'someone's voice is needed to defend animals as neither the Right nor the Left give a damn!'
