Did someone say succulents? We’re standing before the Jardin Exotique de Monaco, a paradise for lovers of these water-retaining wonders. Established in 1933 under Prince Louis II, this garden boasts a thousand species of cacti and other succulents, some over a century old. It’s not just a visual treat, though. Imagine these plants in their natural habitat, from the Americas to Africa, their blooms gracing the landscape throughout the year. Built on a cliffside, the Jardin Exotique offers a breathtaking panorama of Monaco and the French and Italian Rivieras. Stroll along winding paths and under archways, surrounded by a sea of unique shapes and sizes. The Jardin Exotique is more than just a pretty face. It’s also home to a remarkable botanical center, housing one of the world’s most extensive collections of cacti and succulents. A haven for both tourists and scientists, it carefully preserves these remarkable plants for generations to come.
