Welcome to the May edition

With all eyes on the south of France this month for the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix, we bring you a sunnier edition from the Coutts Monaco office, to find out more about life in one of Europe's most stylish regions.

In this issue we meet a number of successful Monaco residents, including milliner David Schilling and Sonia Irvine, who runs the hottest nightclub in town. Business woman Lyndy Redding also tells us why despite catering for the likes of the Beckhams, the Monaco Grand Prix still holds a special place in her heart.

Also in this issue, we meet the team out there, explain the tax benefits of living 'offshore' and give you some top tips on things to see and do if you plan a visit. And if that tempts you to visit on a little more permanent basis, we also give you a guide to making a move abroad.

Don't forget you can now subscribe to receive updates from Coutts Woman, which will give a preview of up and coming features as well as exclusive subscriber access to future offers and events.

We hope you enjoy the issue.
