Etiquette

Monaco's unique combination of functions as a global tax haven, affluent vacation destination, and Monegasque traditions has an impact on the country's etiquette. The inhabitants of Monegasque work hard to preserve the high standard of living there and are proud of their nation's past. The principality draws visitors of many different countries, but they are all drawn together by a high degree of personal wealth.

With a focus on respecting private, the etiquette is very similar to that in France. The Grimaldi, Monaco's royal family, constantly grabs the media's attention. After American actress Grace Kelly wed Prince Rainier III, the royal family of Monaco became a common topic of tabloid media. In Monaco, discretion and privacy are still valued highly.
