However, some enticing offbeat sights include one of the world's only remnants of the Coco de Mer plant, with each fruit weighing 10-20 kg, aromatic spice and herb gardens, photogenic Palmyra alley, river suspension bridge, as well as the lily-laden lake, cactus greenhouse, not to mention the little plant shops right outside to take some effervescent blooms home with you.
