RE: Monaco City: the 2nd Smallest Sovereign State in the World.

in Worldmappin3 years ago

Monaco is such a stunning city at night! There is no doubt about that. The warm glow those lights give off incites a magical kingdom feel.

I cannot tell you enough how I am so envious of you! :) Were you transferred there from your company for a short long time? I'm curious.

This little sovereign principality on the Côte d'Azur ( my French Teacher never called it the Riviera) has always fascinated people. With no small wonder. I think your post has been one of the most comprehensive ones I have ever seen on social media. I am not really interested in the Casinos, but, the lay of the land, the incredible views and even walking through the narrow and winding streets with you was like taking a week's vacation there. I feel like I got my money's worth. :) The views from above really have you a sense of what the word per capita really means. I will never complain about New York City again. The quiet opulence is intriguing. It is nice to see money that doesn't scream it in gauche ways.

I cannot even pick a picture, there are so many that hit the mark of wow that it would be unfair to leave any out. Suffice to say, you have outdone yourself here. Did you get to the beach? It is funny to see one downtown, with the whole city surrounding you.

Between the Southern Alps and the Mediterranean Sea... what a perfectly romantic getaway! Thank you for the amazing post!

We are on an expat for my wife's career. It will be about 3.5 years by the time it's over and we head back home to Canada.

Casinos never interested me either. I never got any enjoyment out of gambling so I generally just avoid them and never gamble when I go in with others.

We didn't go to the beach that day. We only stayed for maybe 4 hours and just walked around. The weather was nice but it was February and only about 15°C, so not hot enough to warrant sitting on the beach.
