What is this place called Monaco? For a generation of Americans, it was the enchanted kingdom in a modern fairy tale. Monaco’s Prince Rainier III married America’s Hollywood princess Grace Kelly and they lived happily ever after in a storybook palace on the Riviera. For more than a century Monaco has been the Mediterranean playground of the rich, famous and royal. But Monaco is more than a backdrop for an unlikely movie script that somehow came true. It is also more than an idyllic Riviera resort. It is a real country with its own language, traditions, people and a long, sometimes bloody and tumultuous, history.
