The new harbour extension has finally been given its street name, despite it still not being mapped by Google. The quayside will be called Quai Rainier III, named after the father of our current Prince Albert II. Prince Rainier was often referred to as the "builder Prince" because during his reign there was a huge amount of construction carried out to develop Monaco. The extended harbour has allowed Monaco to double its port capacity and to welcome larger cruise ships and yachts. Its construction started in 1999 while Prince Rainier was still alive. The other side of the extension will be simply called the Esplanade des Pecheurs.
