Monaco and our trip

#celebratewithtrip #monaco #montecarlo #beautifulday Monaco pronounced /ˈmɒnəkoʊ/ is a city state founded by the Grimaldi family by purchasing land from the HRE Henry VI and establishing it as a Genoese colony. Its history however dates back to when the Greeks settled here and established a colony in the 6th century B.C. called Monoikos or “single” + “house”. The principality has been pretty much sovereign with minor exceptions although the Grimaldis had to make certain compromises throughout the ages to ensure the city state’s survival. Many policies or even interests coincide with those of France whilst France takes care of defence policies and world affairs.
