Travel Tips - Monaco, France
Monaco, the fabled home of Amercan film star Grace Kelly (sadly deceased), and Prince Rainier, whose fairy tale marriage in the 1956 captured the hearts of romantics around the world. The most densely populated and, second only to Vatican City, the smallest sovereign country in the world, Monaco can be found nestling on the south Mediterranean coast of France. The glamorous Monaco is home to many wealthy foreigners sheltering in this well renowned tax haven.
As befits the high class image of glitz and luxury, Monaco hosts the most famous street Grand Prix in the world and the formulas one racing cars scream like banshees through narrow streets and round the impossibly tight hair pain bends of this wondrous city-come-country once every year. The smallest French speaking country in the world, Monaco just has to be on your 'places to visit' list. It's a delightful glimpse into the world of 'how the other half live'. Don't miss it!
