Feel like dressing like royalty? Or even having a taste of royal life? Then look no further than the Mont Charles de Monaco collection!

The lunch was organized yesterday (October 10th) at the Louis XV restaurant, at the Hôtel de Paris, located Place du Casino - Monte Carlo (the most expensive in the district).
Fortis, which was bailed out on Monday, sent an invite for 50 to participate in a “culinary event” at the most expensive three-Michelin-star hotel where the bill runs in most cases to over 3000 euros ($4,500) per person.
Seems like they are doing it in all the countries and not just AIG insurance in America although they spent considerably more $500,000 on luxury spas and dinner just days after the government bail out.
And you, what did you have for lunch?
