Drive a Lamborghini Huracán Up the Coast of Monaco

Driving in the South of France, with all those curves and climbs, requires something with power, prestige, and a lot of attitude. So when I went for a spin around Monaco, the tiny, glittery city-state on the French Riviera, I chose to pilot a Lamborghini, the ideal car for navigating the area’s 31 miles of urban roads. Take your own tour in a Lamborghini Huracán (pictured above, $237,000), a coupe capable of 200 mph but tuned for both town and country. A toggle switch on the center console raises the car upward, better to accommodate the uneven streets near the Mediterranean Sea.

Start by circling the driveway in front of the Casino de Monte-Carlo, which is across the street from the belle epoque architectural gem Hôtel de Paris. Beware of the hairpin turn at the Fairmont, then accelerate through the tunnel straightaway before emerging into the harbor via Route de la Piscine.
