Welcome to Monaco, which is the second smallest country in the world! Although it is geographically located on the French Riviera in southern France, this tiny Principality of over 200 hectares lies just a few kilometers away from the border with Italy.
In 1956, the marriage of Hollywood star Grace Kelly with Prince Rainier from the House of Grimaldi put Monaco in the spotlight. Since then, this enclave on the French Riviera has been known for being a tax haven attracting the rich and famous from all over the world.
As a kid, I had the chance to visit Monaco during one of our campervan trips in 1999!
