If the hectic life in front of Casino Monte
Carlo, with all the luxury cars traffic, busy
tourists and strict guards becomes to
much, you don´t have to go far to find a
beautiful and calm oasis. Just a minute
walk up the hill you will find Jardines de la
Petite Afrique. This is a small tropical
garden, tucked in between the Cafe de
Paris casino and restaurant complex and
the Tourist information in Monaco.
It is rather amazing that they have found
space for this park, and managed to get it
so dense with tropical threes and bushes,
that you don´t notice the world around.
Small lawns, colouful flowers, excotic
plants, several winding walkways, nice
ponds and art sculptures makes this a
really peacful place. And then you can take
just a few steps to the side and you have
the casino in front of you again...
You can of course spot buildings from the
pari, in particular the La Petit Afrique
building by Brazilian architect Isay
Weinfeld, built in 2016. But this building
looks like a huge garden itself, so it bleds
in quite well.
So, if you need some peace and quiet in
the center of Monaco, this is the place for
you.
