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.
My late wife and I were stationed in the north of England and my parents came over from FL. We loaded up the old station wagon and did “the grand tour.” After Paris and Nice, we ended up in Monte Carlo for the night. I wanted to stay there forever. It was mid-September, the weather was outstanding and there weren’t too many tourists. It was almost like a Cary Grant-Audrey Hepburn movie set.
