Les Révoires

Les Révoires is a residential and tourist area on the northwestern side of the Principality of Monaco, part of the traditional quarter of La Condamine and generally considered part of Moneghetti, just to its north. It was an administrative ward of Monaco until 2013, when it was merged with La Colle into the new Jardin Exotique ward. In 2008 it had a population of 2,545 and covered about 0.09 square kilometres, making it the smallest ward in Monaco by both measures. Its steep slopes offer views of the Rock of Monaco and the Mediterranean, and the Chemin des Révoires, 162 metres above sea level, is the highest point in the principality. The area borders the French towns of Beausoleil and Cap-d'Ail and contains the Jardin Exotique de Monaco, founded by Prince Albert I in 1933, with its collection of succulents and cacti and the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology.
