Anything goes in Monaco… and for one weekend I was more than willing to fulfil the pretence: to act rich, famous and fabulous, like the rest of the visitors to this extravagant place. Fast cars, high heels, designer handbags… everywhere, the glitz and glamour is overwhelming.

When the time comes to wave goodbye to France’s most prestigious principality, there is only one way to depart. Heli Air Monaco run an impressive operation, with regular flights between Monaco and Nice airport, transporting passengers in style. The helicopter trip costs 120 Euros and takes just 7 minutes in the air. Conveniently the price includes a pick up from your hotel. Unlike usual flights, the Monaco Heli-Air is a speedy turn-around, and within fifteen minutes of arriving at the helipad we were in our seats and ready to take off.

The flight is exhilarating, zooming over expanses of azure blue sea, it is the most memorable way to finish your holiday, and perfect for posh jetsetters.
