How Sweet It is!! ( As Jackie Gleason use to say) - Monte Carlo's Thermes Marins and their rooftop restaurant - Hirodelle

If you must know, I'm mad about Monaco (Monte Carlo)..........................., 
Monaco, is a constitutional monarchy on the Riviera measuring less than a square mile, evokes high-stakes gambling, multi million-dollar yachts, Russian oligarchs, race car drivers, James Bond films, spotless sidewalks, the most beautiful women in the world and no public debt.
Its a fantasy world, an adult Disneyland on steroids.........
Naturally......... you must suspend disbelief to appreciate it fully.

One of my favorite things to do, after checking into the fabulous Hermitage Hotel, is to check into the world famous spa, Thermes Marins; a scene of luxury and Romanticism, do a spa treatment (I'm not a spa person, but I do this to get ready for lunch at the spa) , relax by the pool, then dressed in a heavy, cozy spa robe and make my way to the top floor and indulge in a fantastic, over-the-top lunch at the restaurant Hirodelle. 
Yes, they offer a separate spa menu, but forget that, please...., this is Monaco, go for the full regular menu served with  a flight of wines and take in the incredible views.
Life cannot get any better than this..........................
