ah but is it really any wonder to find such a distinguished jewel in
so practically seamless a setting

a few pavement changes & some principality & municipality notices were
all i ever noticed

both downtown & on one of the corniches as i recall
however dimly

so maybe this border is like the saint martin type of boundary
regulated less by monumentation than by some mysterious official maps
& documents

I tried to find the border on purpose in one of the suburbs up the
mountain using a map. I believe I found it, but there was no marker at
all. In general, the sovereignty of Monaco is very toned down. In
daily life it feels like just another suburb of Nice, France. Very
different from other small states such as Vatican or San Marino, where
the statehood is proudly featured.
