Monaco
Grace Kelly & Monaco may be synonymous today but Monaco has a very rich history as an ancient principality on the Mediterranean Sea nestled on the French Riviera surrounded by France with Italy nearby. Ruled by the Grimaldi Family since the 14th century, Monaco has a colorful history and is still considered by many to be Europe’s most fascinating country despite the fact that the principality covers but one square mile, with nearly 20% having been recovered from the sea. Discover more than just Grace Kelly’s Monaco.
