Fontvieille's Léo Ferré Plaza and Zoological Garden escalators back in operation

The mechanical escalators serving Fontvieille's Léo Ferré Plaza and Zoological Garden have been restored to full working order.

Residents and visitors to Fontvieille can once again use the mechanical escalators that connect the Léo Ferré Plaza and the Zoological Garden, following their return to service.

The escalators provide crucial vertical transport links in this densely built area of the Principality, helping pedestrians navigate the challenging terrain that characterises Monaco's urban landscape. Their restoration ensures continued accessibility between these popular destinations in the reclaimed district.

Fontvieille, built on land reclaimed from the Mediterranean in the 1970s, relies heavily on such mechanical transport systems to connect its various levels and facilities. The Léo Ferré Plaza and nearby Zoological Garden remain important gathering spaces for both locals and tourists exploring this modern quarter of Monaco.
