[edit] Location
La Colle lies on the north western side of the country, just north of Fontvieille.[4] La Colle is generally considered part of Moneghetti, even though it is its own administrative Ward. It runs directly along the neighbouring French town of Beausoleil, as well as the Monégasque Wards of, Les Révoires, Fontvieille and Moneghetti.[5]
[edit] Tourism
La Colle is more of a industrial area, but some small hotels can be found here, helping Monaco's high end tourist industry.[6]
[edit] Features
La Colle takes after Fontvieille in being one of the more industrial areas in Monaco.[7] For instance Venturi automotive and its subsidiarity Voxan have a Eco - friendly factory located here.[8] Its location within Monaco makes it a easy shipping detection, also because it is located more on the outside of the city manufacturing really does not disrupt Monaco's high end tourist industry.[9]
However, even though La Colle is more industrialized there is real estate along the Les Révoires La Colle border.[10] Because of La Colle's location more outside the center of the city, its real estate sales are generally less.[11] Averaging 13% to 18% less than neighbouring Fontvieille or La Condamine.[12]
Princess Grace Hospital, Monaco's only hospital is located here.[13]
