A soothing landscape in the heart of the city, it spreads its exotic charms and shades of green over 8850 m², 500 m from the Promenade des Anglais. Its remarkable trees include a majestic Magnolia grandiflora and a number of rare species.
Since 1985, a sculpted monument to 4 French Marshals has stood beneath the palms of this resting place: Alphonse Juin, Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, Pierre-Mary Koening and Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque.
