Princess Antoinette Park, Park in Jardin Exotique, Monaco
Princess Antoinette Park is a municipal garden on Boulevard du Jardin Exotique in Monaco's Jardin Exotique ward, laid out in 1911 as the Jardin des Révoires. Its lawn, edged by a low green metal fence and a red brick sidewalk, carries the name "PRINCESSE ANTOINETTE" in white capital letters, beside a small red and black model steam locomotive, a tall agave and a large tree. Stepped terraces with reddish-brown lattice-patterned walls and green railings rise behind the grass.
The park was created to provide Monaco families with a central recreational space and preserves olive trees that are several centuries old. These ancient trees have long been part of the local landscape and connect the modern park to its original heritage.
The park was renamed by Prince Louis II in 1923 after his granddaughter Antoinette, first child of Princess Charlotte; it was previously the Jardin des Révoires, laid out in 1911. In Monegasque it is called parcu Principessa Antunieta. At the end of June the Municipality holds an open-air meal there, continuing the Monegasque picnic tradition.
The park is accessible on most days, with opening hours varying by season and closing earlier in winter than in summer. Visitors should know that different areas are spread throughout the space, making it easy to find the right spot depending on age and interests.
The garden is dedicated to the sacred olive tree, and the lawn spells out "PRINCESSE ANTOINETTE" in white capital letters beside a small red and black model steam locomotive. The park was formerly called jardin des Révoires before its 1923 renaming.
