Head for les Moneghetti, where you will discover, among
private villas from the early 20th century, the Parc Princesse Antoinette and
its hundred year old olive trees with its miniature golf course (closed in
September) and many facilities for children. On the
France-Monaco border, you will find the Exotic Garden. Opened in 1933, it
contains remarkable species of cactuses from Africa and Latin America, from the
aloe plants of Cape Town to the giant agaves from the Aztec regions.

Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology
The Museum
of Prehistoric Anthropology was founded by Prince Albert I in 1902 “to conserve traces of early humankind exhumed in the Principality
and neighbouring regions.”
The numerous collections which have been brought
together in the Museum over more than a century represent the various phases of
regional prehistory and protohistory. The majority of the archaeological and
palaeontological exhibits come from the Principality and neighbouring areas
(France and Italy).
