Monaco is good for a one day visit, at best. Of course this depends on your preferences, I like middle-sized, rather open cities such as Versailles. Monaco is very cramped with lots of buildings and roads that are not easy to cross. There are nice parks, though - but everything seems really cramped. The prices are outrageous, but this is the case in many places in the south of France. You do not live in Monaco comfortably with a middle-class income. France is a marvelous country, with beautiful places and climates - there are really better places to choose from.
