France
– Monaco (FRMC): Place Antoine Repaire (under construction)
This
is Place Antoine Repaire, almost the northernmost point of Monaco at the
border to Roquebrune and Saint-Roman in France. The stone monument here is
in the middle of the picture. There is a Monegasque police station
in the left photo part. This image is photographed from southeast towards
northwest. All available maps confirm that the photographer is
standing in France. |

Same
motif as above, but zoomed. |
|
From
east towards west. According to some maps the photographer might now
be inside Monaco. |
|
Slightly
closer. |
|
Most
police officers in Monaco are French citizens. (The Prime Minister
of Monaco is usually also a French citizen.) We asked this policeman
if he could tell where the boundary goes, but he answered very politely
that he could not. |
|
A
welcome menhir. |
|
Some
articles suggests that the monument in the middle of this interchange is
located exactly on the French - Monegasque boundary. Photographed towards
south and the ocean. |
|
The
same monument from the opposite side and with the menhir in the
background. |

According
to the tourist maps the Monaco monument is about 10 metres inside
Monaco. |
