On the way out of the Cote d'Azur, we stopped for a moment in Monte Carlo, Monaco. It is a very clean and ritzy place (an actual nation on its own) where some rich people buy homes to escape from tax burdens in their own lands, among other things.
There is a fancy palace where the Prince of Monaco lives in the old part of the town, up on a hill. Whereas in France, where the beaches are open to all, it has been said that in Monaco, the beaches are open to whomever has a yacht.
I really like the architecture of the Cathedral, where many, many years ago, the Prince Ranier of Monaco married Grace Kelly, a famously beautiful Hollywood star.
After this brief stop, the drive back to Italy was about five hours, which gave me time to catch up with my body.
