La Grotte Bleue, nestled within the prestigious new Mareterra program in Monaco, is now a must-see place for architecture and nature lovers. Open to the public, it offers a spectacular immersion in a setting where innovation and natural beauty intertwine harmoniously. Just a few metres from the meditation area, another discreet Mareterra treasure, La Grotte Bleue impresses with its 12-metre depth and its bold integration into the belt of caissons that supports this visionary neighbourhood.

Mareterra Monaco: first video of Monaco's new eco-district

On December 5, 2024, Mareterra officially opened its doors to the public, marking a new era for Monaco. This ambitious project, covering 6 hectares reclaimed from the sea and bringing the total area of the Principality to 2.08 km², embodies a modern and ecological vision of urban development. Its inauguration, in the presence of HSH Prince Albert II, Princess Charlene and their children, Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, brought together elected officials and residents to celebrate this emblematic addition to the Principality. Started in 2013, this project represents an investment of around 2 billion euros.
