Monaco’s last attraction on the way out of town towards Nice is probably its best. The Jardin Exotique L [map] (62 boulevard du Jardin Exotique; www.jardin-exotique.mc; daily Nov–Jan 9am–5pm, Feb–Apr and Oct 9am–6pm, May–Sept 9am–7pm), opened in 1933, is a fantasy land of cacti and succulents, among them giant agaves, whole colonies of grandmother’s pincushions and 11m (36ft) high euphorbes, some of them over a century old, planted in steep terraces and gulleys down the cliff. The entrance ticket also includes the Grotte de l’Observatoire (guided visits only) at the foot of the garden, a deep limestone cave full of stalactites and stalagmites, and the rather dry Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique, displaying archaeological finds, mainly from the Grimaldi caves just across the Italian border.
