Geography
Saint Michel lies on the north-centre of the principality, just north of Monte Carlo.[3] Saint Michel is generally considered part of Monte Carlo even though it is its own administrative Ward.[4] It runs directly along the neighbouring French town of Beausoleil, as well as the Monégasque wards of Monte Carlo, Saint Roman and Moneghetti.[5][6]
Demographics
Saint Michel was the third-largest ward in Monaco in terms of population and the fourth-smallest in terms of land size. It had a population of 3,907 and convers 0.14 km2.[7]
Monaco has ten state-operated schools, four private schools and one university; two state schools and two private schools are located in the district.[8]
Tourism
Saint Michel is more of a residential area, but a dozen small hotels and bed and breakfasts can be found here, helping Monaco's high-end tourism industry.[9][10]
Features
Saint Michel is a residential community, but boasts many boutiques and restaurants.[11] As Saint Michel is located relatively outside the centre of the municipality, its real estate sales are generally less than those of other districts;[12] averaging 10% to 15% less than neighbouring Monte Carlo or La Condamine.[13][14] Saint Michel also boasts a wide variety of car dealers, such as Honda, BMW and Tesla.
