TAKE ME TO
MONACO!
S
even years already, and as usual
in the late afternoon, I am on the
terrace of Café de Paris sipping
my ice cold Spritz and thinking
how lucky I am. It is a privileged lifestyle of
beautiful people, deluxe, indulgent services,
security and tranquility. These are my words
to describe Monaco, a Sovereign city-state, one
of the smallest countries in Europe covering an
area of just 2.02 km2.
Nestled between France and Italy with
the spectacular backdrop of the Alps, this
beautiful and fairytale principality enables you
to maintain a relaxing Mediterranean tempo
whilst remaining quite a lively little country. It
certainly leaves the real world and its problems
behind. This is one of the reasons why Monaco

and celebrities who appreciate the privacy they
can enjoy in this little corner of paradise.
