The Riviera Reinvented: How Monaco Is Re-Engineering the Sea at Larvotto Beach
There’s a subtle seismic shift under way along the shores of Larvotto Beach, the stretch of sand and sea that anchors the eastern edge of Monaco. What appears on first glance as another Mediterranean sunrise is in fact something more: a re-engineered littoral, a 100-year bet against the sea, and an exercise in architecture meeting ecology.
For years, Monaco relied on the technology of submerged geotubes, empty, sand-filled synthetic membranes , placed offshore to mitigate wave action and protect the narrow 27 hectares of Larvotto’s shoreline. But the tide of time and storms became unforgiving: repeated erosion events, beach loss of metres, and the relentless Mediterranean swell showed that geotubes (designed for roughly 30 years’ service) would no longer suffice.
After Austin and Mexico Success, Leclerc’s Sao Paulo Weekend is Shattered

Lando Norris pulled off a superb performance: after securing pole position in qualifying with a 1 m 09.511 s lap. He went on to win the Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team claimed a career-best second place, while Max Verstappen battled back from the pit-lane to take third. Kimi is going to be someone that Charles Leclerc will have to keep a close eye on. This wasn’t a one-off lucky podium.
