Chemin des Révoires, Mountain footpath in Jardin Exotique, Monaco
The Chemin des Révoires is a mountain footpath in Jardin Exotique that winds upward through Mediterranean vegetation, reaching its highest point at about 162 meters above sea level. The trail connects different residential areas through steep sections with steps and wider segments that open toward views of the city and surrounding landscape.
The path was built in the early 20th century as Monaco transformed from a modest settlement into a modern principality. It was created to connect expanding residential neighborhoods with the natural landscape of the region.
Locals use this path regularly for their daily walks and exercise, making it a social space where residents connect with nature in the heart of the city. The worn steps and meeting points show how people here have integrated outdoor walking into their routine.
The path is accessible from several starting points near Monte Carlo and can be walked at any time of day. Early morning hours work best for a peaceful walk, and the light is clearer for seeing the surroundings and taking photos.
This path marks the highest elevation point in Monaco and offers views of three countries on clear days: Monaco, France, and Italy. Many visitors overlook the fact that you can actually see across national borders from this single spot.
