A garden of cacti and succulents clinging to a limestone cliff face, with one of the finest plunging views over Monaco and its harbour.

The paths wind above the drop between giant euphorbias and century-old cacti, before descending toward the Observatory Cave, a prehistoric cavity open to visitors below. The contrast between desert vegetation and Monaco's skyscrapers is quite unique.
