New country souvenir, Monaco, with Geocache of the Week: Chemin des pecheurs
Today, we release a new country/regional souvenir for Monaco! If you have found a geocache in Monaco, you automatically receive the souvenir on your profile.
Poised along the stunning Côte d’Azur is the independent microstate of Monaco. As the second smallest but most densely populated country in the world, its size is comparable to New York’s Central Park. The bustling quartier of Monte Carlo, infamous annual Grand Prix, and popular oceanographic museum overlooking the French Riviera make for a coastal geocaching dream.
