Monaco is not France, but the principality's deep ties to its larger neighbor mean that Bastille Day is observed with respect. The French community in Monaco (which constitutes the largest foreign population) celebrates with a reception at the French Embassy, and fireworks are visible across the border in Beausoleil and Cap-d'Ail. Monaco's own independence : maintained since 1297 through diplomacy, treaties, and occasional sheer stubbornness : is the quiet subtext. The Grimaldis have outlasted the Valois, the Bourbons, the Revolution, Napoleon, and the Republic, and they intend to outlast whatever comes next.
