The coastline turns electric as your driver eases out of Nice and the lights of Monaco begin to bloom on the horizon. Streetlamps and superyacht masts puncture the darkness; the sea pushes a cool breeze that carries the salt and distant engine hum. Arriving on Le Rocher, the Prince’s Palace catches the light—stone facades softened by night—while narrow cobbled alleys invite a short, atmospheric stroll.
