NICE
Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, Nice can be seen as the “capital” of the French Riviera. People from all over the world come to Nice to enjoy the pebble beaches and cobblestone streets. Whilst in Nice, one can also the cafés, markets and museums (Musée Matisse and Musée Chagall) or party it up in the clubs at night. When the sun sets, that’s when Nice gets its second wind.
MONACO
Welcome to the most densely populated country in the world. Monaco! There are many reasons why people would want to settle here. Yes, there is the Grand Prix, and the well known casinos, but perhaps the real reason is the fact that Monaco levies no tax on its citizens.
Although Monaco is a sovereign state, it is completely enclosed by France, and its defense is still the responsibility of the French government. Monaco is governed by a constitutional monarchy. Prince Albert II is the head of state and the royal family, the Grimaldi’s, have ruled over Monaco since 1297.
