Daily Traveler wisteria asked: We are considering a trip to southern France this May and are thinking about attending the Grand Prix de Monte Carlo. We understand that tickets are required. Any suggestions about the best and easiest way to get tickets?

Well, wisteria, the annual Formula I Grand Prix is the ultimate event for those who love the taste of gasoline fumes in the morning and a little bubbly at the night. Use the link above for ticketing information on the 2009 race, scheduled for May 21-24. To talk to someone directly about location and ticketing, email the Automobile Club de Monaco at location@acm.mc or call 93-15-26-00 (the country code for Monaco is 377). From our research we found plenty of ticket brokers, so if you go that route, choose carefully. And for more information about the area, read "True Glitz", writer G.Y. Dryansky's Condé Nast Traveler feature on Monte Carlo. Just remember: Modesty is not an operative word there.

Hope this helps! More questions? Just ask.
