Good to know
- Visits are with a specialist gardener; book at the Jardin Exotique ticket desk (Mairie) - Visit Monaco lists free Saturday tours at 10:00 and 14:00 by reservation.
- Few visitors know it exists: it is the backstage of the Jardin Exotique, with sea views from the greenhouses.
- The Institut audiovisuel next door is worth pairing with it.
