Jardin Exotique vs Eze
 
Does the Jardin Exotique offer a view from high above Monte Carlo like Eze would of the coast?

I am trying to decide whether to:
go to the palace and tour it, the aquarium and cathedral and then go to jardin exotique.. then get on the train and go to Cap Ferrat to the Rothschild villa.. maybe add Nice or another town?

or

go to the palace, do the tour, the cathedral then go to Eze then Cap Ferrat...


decisions decisions.. help me decide.. lol

Don't know the Jardin but Eze is breathtaking (so is the drive!!) and the Rothschild palace, view and gardens to die for. Don't miss it. Sally

I'm puzzled. Are you talking about the Jardin Exotique on the highest point of Eze Village?

Are there two gardens? I look at a map of Monaco and it says "Jardin Exotique".

Is Jardin Exotique high up to offer a view of the coast?

Then i asked about Eze because i know it's high up and offers a view as well.

I wanted to know which was better..

There are two -

One in Monaco - designed by Princess Grace, which is lovely, but not the same as the

One at the top of Eze - which is the higher of the two.

The views are best from the Jardin or from the terrace of either Chateau Eza or Chateau Chevre d'Or which are right across from each other.

you can take a bus to Jardin Exotique from Monaco right? How much would the fare be?

Monaco is so small you walk just about anyplace. But the Jardin is kind of out of the way. I'm sure there is a bus that goes there.

As to what is the fare? I have no idea, so you'll have to ask, but it can't be much - maybe $1.25 - $1.50 each way. I do know there is a bus-pass available if you'll be in Monaco enough times to use maybe 6-rides, if not, pay as you go.

I didn't know there was a Jardin Exotique in Monaco as well as Eze Village.

From the small photo at the top of this website, it looks like there's a good view of "The Rock" in Monaco.
