Laid out on the side of a cliff, the Exotic Garden of Monaco contains about thousand species of cacti and other succulents, which reach giant dimensions.
Exceptional vista of the Princedom and the French and Italian Riviera.
The Exotic Garden has been able to remain unique in its kind since opening in 1933. It assembles, out of doors and in particularly spectacular surroundings, a large variety of so-called succulent plants.
The plants that are acclimated in this garden come originally from different dry zones far away: South-East of the United States of America, Mexico, Central and South America, South and East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
