I visited Monte Carlo back in 1970. If I could live anywhere in Europe with sufficient funds to live the good life, it’d be in Monaco. Beautiful area.
Back in 1970 there were many beautiful places in the world — ever been in Landau or Burghausen when a beer cost 1 Mark and there were 3.75 Marks to the dollar?
Hell, that far back even Detroit was half-way liveable.
You’re right! One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
There are areas near Monaco I find even more beautiful, like Roquebrune ot Cap Ferat. The magnificence of the mountains meeting the Mediterranean, and the tropical flora, the amazing climate! But when it comes to quality of life, zero crime, and a rich cultural life, Monaco has it’s charms.
