There are so many reasons to love Monaco.
It’s an exceptional place where anything is possible. Where luck finds those who come to meet it with a smile. A parade of experiences and memories await you under the Mediterranean sun... Vincent Valat, a platinum member of our My Monte-Carlo loyalty programme, tells us about his passion for the Principality.
Let’s fall in love with Monte-Carlo!
What do you love most about Monaco?
Vincent Valat: I love the laid-back tranquillity, the gentle pace of life, and the general decency. It’s the very best of culture, service and safety squeezed into just 2 km²: pure happiness.
How does Monaco inspire you?
V.V: In every way imaginable! Every morning, Monaco makes me want to be better: better at home, better at work, and better at growing my business. Monaco makes me want to enjoy every moment of what life brings us.
What is your best memory of Monaco?
V.V: I have so many... I’ll go for St. Vincent’s Day on 22 January 2019, when I got to see inside the courtyard of the Prince’s Palace.
In a word, Monaco is...
V.V: Magic!
