Monegasque people

The Monegasque people are the native residents of Monaco, a small, wealthy city-state on the French Riviera. They are a close-knit community with a distinct cultural identity, deeply rooted in their history and traditions. The population is usually a mix of locals and expatriates, but Monegasques retain a strong sense of heritage and pride. Many speak Monegasque, a Ligurian dialect, alongside French and other languages. Known for their elegance and involvement in Monaco’s financial, social, and cultural life, they play a key role in maintaining the country's unique international reputation as a luxurious and prestigious destination.
