Larvotto fountain

The Larvotto fountain is a modern water sculpture on the beach promenade with multiple tiered basins held by slender columns. The structure runs along the waterfront and creates a distinctive form with pools and splashing water effects.

The fountain was created in 1969 by sculptor Guy Lartigue as a tribute to Princess Grace. After years of use, it underwent major restoration work starting in 2019, with the artist's son overseeing the renovation.

The fountain serves as a gathering point on the waterfront where locals and visitors pass through and linger. It shapes the appearance of the promenade and belongs to the public spaces that people use and see every day.

The fountain sits directly on the beach promenade and is easy to reach on foot, especially from the city center or nearby hotels. It is best visited during daylight hours to enjoy the water effects and the surrounding area.

The fountain features an advanced lighting system that illuminates the water displays in the evening and makes the structure glow after dark. This nighttime installation offers a different experience depending on when you visit.
