Monaco's heliport was founded in 1976 under Prince Rainier III on three hectares of Fontvieille, between the Rock and Cap-d'Ail, on a terrace over the sea beside the Princess Grace rose garden, the Stade Louis II and the Fontvieille port. Run by the Direction de l'Aviation civile, it links the principality with Nice-Côte d'Azur airport in about seven minutes' flight.
