I think you would be suprised how the circuit is in real life it's certainly flat built on a plateau and I am sure Bernie owning it has absolutely nothing to do with it. Being close to the wealthy Cote D Azur will of course be another factor that makes it marketable.
The circuit is used a test track and can be doused to simulate varying types of wet weather driving may be this is something they are considering as that would liven the GP up a bit.
The strange colour configiration are very functional and act as run offs instead of gravel traps and the like. Also part of the reason it makes a good test track.
The runoff surface consists of a mixture of asphalt and tungsten, used instead of gravel traps, as common at other circuits. The second area or Red Zone is more abrasive surface designed to maximize tyre grip and hence minimize braking distance, although at the this will dramatically increase tyre wear.
