They don't need a full embassy, an ambassador will do. Like I said if they insist a small government office can be operated in existing French owned governmental buildings across the border. No need to pay for a large independent facility. The ambassador can commute to attend appropriate talks in Monaco

A full time embassy is asinine for a country with 30k people living in it less than a 29 minute walk from the French border on all sides

    Do you know where Monaco is? Commute from France use buildings in France. The ambassador can commute for Monaco state events and talks.

    An yes this is different, it's different to save cost. Effective outcomes for French citizens will be the same

    So the number of buildings is the same but now it's worse?

    Once again, do you think the ambassador lives in an embassy?

    No, they recieve free housing in the form of an official residence while living abroad. Something that can be cut by a commute.

    And before you get hung up on a commute where as I've said an exhausting number of times a commute to attend state functions held by Monaco or diplomatic talks with the Monaco government. All of these would take place in buildings that are owned by Monaco.

    The entire point of an embassy is for you to host things. So you're suggesting they have

    • a place of residence in France for an ambassador
    • a normal place for an ambassador
    • renting expensive facilities in Monaco for special events

    Rather than, y'know, using the one they own.
