Prehistory amid refined luxury

Grottes de l'Observatoire, once an astronomic observatory, is now a tour that takes visitors to the cave beneath the rock. This limestone cave, 100 meters above sea level, affords visitors a unique look at not only subterranean geology, but prehistoric digs for Monaco’s early residents.

The presence of prehistoric people near this cave is evidenced here by almost 250,000 years of fossil evidence. The nearby museum reveals and the exotic gardens offer fascinating facts and artifacts, and guests of the tour can also dine relax here too. Situated just outside the city, this attraction, and other nearby sites, are well worth a bit of a side trip.
