Geography

La Colle lies on the north western side of the country, just north of Fontvieille.[2] La Colle is generally considered part of Moneghetti, even though it is its own administrative Ward. It runs directly along the neighboring French towns of Beausoleil, and Cap-d'Ail, as well as the Monégasque Wards of Les Révoires, Fontvieille, and Moneghetti.[2]

Demographics

La Colle is the second smallest Ward in Monaco in terms of population (Monaco-Ville is the smallest), and the third smallest in terms of land size. La Colle has a population of 2,829 and an area of 0.11 square kilometres (0.042 sq mi).[3]

Monaco has ten state-operated schools,[4] four private schools, and one university. One state school and one private school are located in La Colle.[5]

Tourism

La Colle is more of an industrial area, but some small hotels can be found here, helping Monaco's high end tourist industry.[2]

Features

La Colle takes after Fontvieille in being one of the more industrial areas in Monaco.[6] For instance Venturi and its subsidiary Voxan have an eco-friendly factory located here.[7] Its location within Monaco helps to expedite shipping; located more on the outside of the city, manufacturing causes little problem to Monaco's high end tourist industry.[6]

Even though La Colle is more industrialized, there is real estate along the Les Révoires-La Colle border.[8] Because La Colle's location more outside the city center, its real estate sales are generally less.[8] Averaging 13% to 18% less than neighboring Fontvieille or La Condamine.[9]

Princess Grace Hospital, Monaco's only hospital is located in the westernmost portion of La Colle.[10]

gollark: Governments probably wouldn't unless they're being really experimental for some reason, yes, since unless they make themselves the only issuers they can't muck with the money supply all the time.
gollark: Proof of work is wildly wasteful, proof of stake is just built-in inequality, and I don't know of any saner ways.
gollark: My main problem with cryptocurrencies is the fact that they end up needing to replicate unreasonably large amounts of data everywhere, and allocation of coins is a hard problem without any reasonably good solutions.
gollark: You obviously run into the issue of "what if the key is leaked", though.
gollark: Hypothetically you could have a cryptocurrency where only the government can issue a coin - instead of mining it (proof of work), it would just be digitally signed by a government key.
