Monaco
The tone for the opulent, independent city-state of Monaco in the middle of the French Riviera is set by its pink Royal palace on a cliff-top, where the latest generation of the ruling Grimaldi family still live in style. Every inch of this built-up enclave of excess is fit for Royalty inside, if not out,more from its famed Casino to its ornate hotels. If you want to live it up for a day or two, take a holiday in Monaco.
