What do you love most about Monaco?
Marcel Ravin: It’s such a small country, but it has such an incredibly wide outlook on the world. If you give yourself the means to achieve them, respect them, and deserve them, then this is the kind of place where dreams can come true. It’s a country where the impossible becomes possible.
What is your best memory of Monaco?
Marcel Ravin : The day I met H.S.H. Prince Albert II at the opening of the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort in 2005. He very kindly said to me, “I hope you’ll be staying with us a long time,” and I answered, “as long as Monaco wants me.”
In a word, Monaco is...
Marcel Ravin : Unique.
