Hello,

My wife and I are very interested in microstates. We recently moved to Europe and want to visit all of them. But not just pass through, we want to really get to know what life is like there for normal people. For Monaco, we're not really interested in all the opulent wealth, but in how it functions as a state and how it uses the ultra wealthy foreigners to create a strong social safety net for its citizens (as I understand it.) Also to what extent there is a cultural difference with France and Italy, etc.

So is there any Monagasque person who would be down to just tell us about their life, hang out in a cafe or get a drink (assuming there are any affordable places?)

Huge bonus points if you can speak any Monagasque.

We're pretty interesting ourselves I think, if that helps! We just moved to France from West Africa, before then we were in Southeast Asia. We are journalists that have covered some interesting stuff, plus she is pretty talented artist.

We were thinking of going as early as Monday or Tuesday, but we don't live far away so we can go pretty much any time.

Hi guys 👋🏾

I’m raising money for my stem cell transplant for blood cancer, I have a TikTok video for the fundraiser.

I’d really appreciate it if you could please show me a little support by liking, commenting, or reposting the video, or simply helping me reach more people. Every bit of support helps. 🙏🏾

And if you’re able to donate or share my GoFundMe as well, that would mean so much to me. 🤍

Thank you in advance. 🙏🏾

Here's the :

I’m not sure if fundraiser posts like this are allowed here, so if they aren’t, I completely understand. Please just be kind.🙏🏾 I’m genuinely trying to reach more people and get the help I need.🥹🤍

I've been working in Monaco for a while as a Product Owner at a software company, after 10 years across banking, insurance and digital platforms in Europe and Latin America.

I'm looking for my next role and would love to hear from people working here:
Which companies in Monaco or nearby (Nice, Sophia Antipolis) have real product teams?
Is the local market mostly fintech, wealth management, gaming or yachting tech, or is there more than that?
Any meetups, communities or events where tech and product people actually connect around here?

Happy to grab a coffee with anyone in product or tech. The ecosystem here is small, and it's always good to know more people.

Hello everyone!

I specialise in AI product engineering and intelligent automation, helping businesses turn ideas into practical, well-built technology solutions. I take quality seriously and believe in delivering work to a very high standard, with attention to detail at every stage.

Beyond the technical side, I’m looking to expand my professional network across Europe and connect with ambitious entrepreneurs, founders, investors, and business professionals. I believe some of the best opportunities come from conversations with people from different industries and backgrounds.

Monaco has an interesting entrepreneurial and business community, so I thought this would be a good place to introduce myself and connect with like-minded people. I’m always open to exchanging ideas, learning about what others are building, and exploring opportunities for collaboration where there’s a good fit.

If you’re based in Monaco or active in the wider European business community, I’d be happy to connect and get to know you!

Hello all, today in the morning i went in queue, 5 minutes before opening, i was waited 2 hours and when I enter all tickets were sold... Now we're again without the tickets..
I wanted to purchase the cheaper ones, for D and E seats(230e semifinals and final) but yea.. unlucky. Lot of the tickets were sold in pre-purschase available for people who bought tickets last year. Im so depressed..

Do you know any other method to reach the tickets? Do i have any chance to get them somehow? Thank you...

Hi everyone! I’m an independent artist and designer, specializing in contemporary crystal sculptures that merge art, engineering, and light. After two years of designing and engineering a monumental 10-foot crystal sculpture, I’ve been given the opportunity to debut my work aboard a yacht in Monaco during the 2027 Grand Prix.

This will be my first major international public unveiling, and I’m incredibly excited to bring something I’ve spent years developing to Monaco. As an independent artist, the biggest challenge is financing the logistics of an installation of this scale, particularly transportation, production, insurance, and installation.

I’m exploring how artists can collaborate with luxury brands, private patrons, or businesses that may see value in supporting an artistic installation on a yacht during such an internationally recognized event. I imagine there could be an interesting opportunity for a company to become associated with the artwork, participate in its unveiling, and collaborate on creative content and potential media exposure.

I’d love some local insight:
Are there companies, art patrons, galleries, or organizations in Monaco known for supporting emerging international artists?
Do luxury businesses in Monaco typically participate in art sponsorships or creative partnerships during Grand Prix week?
I’m not looking to advertise or solicit funding directly here. I’m genuinely interested in understanding the Monaco art and business landscape and how these collaborations are typically formed.

Any advice, experiences, or suggestions would mean a lot!
Thank you 🇲🇨

Will the atmosphere at the match be worth going? I’ll be in Monaco and was thinking about attending the game; I’m not a die-hard football fan, I’m just hoping for a good time.

Listen, I am a gap year student, currently in East Africa. Withdrew from a uni in Canada. I don't want to waste my gap year. Don't have the most amount of money currently, so what are the quickest ways out of here, for a year preferably to Europe? Also , it should be something that gets me some form of payment upfront first. He, my father, is a diplomat, so I have a decent amount of experience in international and diplomatic spaces. I am currently applying to Un volunteering and IOM deployments. I'm kind of looking for the craziest hacks here.

I do have some Accolades published an Enomics research paper on the Oxford database on Trade.

A bunch of international debate and writing related awards experiences, etc.

The next university I'd like to apply to is Sciences Po so France, in particular, would be perfect.

I'd be open to executive assistant roles in the City of Monaco or general assistant roles.

Please refer me to somebody else if you're aware of someone who'd want this particular kind of vibe as part of their team.

Hi,

I'm a 40 yo fitness coach from Germany and looking to relocate to the Côte. I hold a masters degree in pharmaceutical science from a German elite university and my style of work is strictly evidence based i.e. a scientific approach.

I fell in love with the Côte d'Azur many years ago and now want to relocate to either Cap Ferrat or Monaco.

I speak basic french (could improve fast if needed), decent English and basic Vietnamese.

I thought about approaching luxury hotels and lend out my services to them, what do you think about that?

Like I said, my services are very different from your classic personal trainer, due to my background in science plus I'm collaborating with doctors from the Charité Berlin to fulfill all lifestyle medicine needs. Also a lot of experience with high profile clients, mostly entertainment industry.

Just looking for some input here! Thank you

ps. when you get the chance: Lemon Tartelette at Mademoiselle in Cap Ferrat. Thank me later ;)

How easy or difficult to get an audit or accounting job in Monaco? Single, 28F , I don’t live in EU, I need visa sponsorship. What are your thoughts?

Salut à tous, Cet article présente les différentes écoles de Monaco, entre établissements publics, privés et parcours internationaux. Il met notamment en avant l’encadrement et l’apprentissage des langues. Pour ceux qui y ont été scolarisés ou qui y ont leurs enfants, comment ça se passe au quotidien ? Qu’est-ce que vous appréciez et quels points seraient à améliorer ?

Salut à tous,

Cet article parle des salons immobiliers à Monaco et à Cannes, notamment du MIPIM et de l’United Property Expo :

Ça soulève une question : est-ce que ces événements permettent vraiment de découvrir des projets et de créer des contacts utiles, ou faut-il déjà avoir un bon réseau pour en profiter ?

Si certains y sont déjà allés, vos retours m’intéressent. Qu’est-ce que vous en avez retiré concrètement ?

The yacht I'm working on has this spare emblem, around 42cm in diameter, quite heavy and parts made from brass. Anyone know what the worth of it is? Is it a collectors?

Hi everyone,

I’m Jacob, a software engineer based in Tanzania, I’m looking for software engineering opportunities in Monaco and would be happy to relocate for the right role.

I work across web, mobile, and backend development. My main stack includes TypeScript, React/Next.js, Flutter, React Native, Bun, and PostgreSQL. I’m also expanding my backend work with Go.

My projects include ride hailing software, healthcare platforms, and a KYC/KYB product. I’ve worked on authentication, payments, API integrations, realtime features, and building applications from concept through delivery.

I’m particularly interested in fullstack, backend, or mobile engineering roles. As a Tanzanian citizen, I would need the appropriate work authorization and would appreciate employers willing to support that process.

If you know companies hiring, local recruiters, or useful ways to connect with Monaco’s tech community, I’d appreciate any leads. I’m happy to share my CV, GitHub, portfolio, and project examples by DM.

Thanks for your time!

Nichée au-dessus du vallon de Sainte-Dévote, la Villa Échauguette est l’une des rares villas Belle Époque encore conservées dans leur intégralité à Monaco. Construite sur six niveaux, elle domine notamment le Port, le Palais princier et le célèbre circuit du Grand Prix.

Son histoire est presque aussi remarquable que son emplacement : la propriété a notamment appartenu à François Blanc, figure majeure de la création de Monte-Carlo.

Avec ses près de 700 m², sa piscine de 22 mètres et ses vues sur Monaco, elle représente un patrimoine assez différent des grandes résidences contemporaines de la Principauté.

Vous préférez ce Monaco historique ou les nouvelles constructions comme Mareterra ?

Hi, are there any private WhatsApp, Facebook, or Telegram groups where people exchange rental apartments in Monaco? And groups that connect landlords directly with people looking to rent or to buy, bypassing agencies? Something more off-market and informal.

Hi everyone, I am visiting Monaco for a week in winter and I want to do non-tourist activities to feel what it might be like to live there as a local resident. Do any locals have tips on where to go? I am open to all experiences as long as they feel authentic and not “touristy”.

Thank you.

We are looking to book a trip next year for the F1 racing in Monaco and while there, we would like to look into diving with our boys, 22 and 15 years old. We are open water certified, husband is advanced. I would appreciate some recommendations on accommodations, areas to dive/reputable companies, most likely around the Portofino area, so we could eventually make our way to stay in/around Monaco for the race June 6th, 2027. We're open to other suggestions as well. As of now, the only concrete plans we have are the race tickets! TIA!

Hi everyone! 🤍

I’m currently based in Australia and looking to relocate, where I’m seeking a full-time opportunity with a private individual, business owner, executive, family or private household.

I have 4+ years of experience across management, community support and working with children and families. Through my management experience, I’ve developed strong skills in organisation, leadership, coordinating staff and day-to-day operations, problem-solving, communication, administration and managing competing priorities.

Alongside this, I have extensive experience supporting children, young people and families, including children in care, complex behaviours and additional support needs. I’m comfortable taking initiative, handling sensitive information, coordinating appointments and activities, communicating with professionals and families, and providing reliable day-to-day support.

I’m open to a variety of roles, including:

✨ Personal Assistant / Executive PA
✨ Private PA to a Business Owner or Executive
✨ Lifestyle Assistant
✨ Family Assistant
✨ Private Household Assistant
✨ Nanny / Governess-style roles
✨ Travelling Personal Assistant / Family Assistant
✨ Family Office / Administrative Support
✨ Other suitable private or professional roles

I’m particularly interested in positions where I can become a trusted, long-term member of an employer’s team or family, whether that involves managing personal or business-related tasks, organising schedules and appointments, coordinating travel, handling errands and logistics, supporting children and family life, or helping a busy household or individual run smoothly.

If you know of anyone hiring or can recommend a contact, please comment, send me a message or tag someone who may be able to help. 🤍

J’ai lu cet article sur la résidence Sakura au Larvotto et je serais curieuse d’avoir vos avis.

Comment voyez-vous l’évolution de Monaco avec ces projets immobiliers ? Est-ce qu’ils améliorent le cadre de vie ou trouvez-vous que la ville se transforme trop ?

Et pour ceux qui connaissent le quartier, vous pensez quoi de Sakura ?
