Monaco is tiny, only about 2km square, so everyone is sort of living on top of each other, which makes for a tight-knit community. I think people move there for quality of life, and then privacy on top of that is so prized. There are no paparazzi allowed, and everyone looks out for each other, which is what makes it so safe.

When I say I grew up in Monaco, some people’s faces screw up because of the negative connotations that come with the city, but others want to know more, because they’re so fascinated by the principality. There is just nowhere else like it, in terms of geographical location alone. And if you’re into people-watching, it’s probably the most incredible place you can go.
