Click here for a video of the view of Monaco from the Jardin Exotique.
The Jardin Exotique de Monaco is an extensive & densely planted succulent garden with excellent views of Monaco & the Mediterranean Sea. This alone would be enough. But in addition, there are two fascinating sites within the garden. The first is a deep cave with guided tours. The second is an engaging museum filled with artifacts found in the cave. These items date back as far as the Neolithic Period. There are bones of animals now extinct. I used to live in the Los Angeles area & have seen many succulent gardens. The plants here are the same as there: mostly cactus, Aloe, Euphorbia & Agave. Some are quite large. The garden was dedicated in 1933.
