Laid out from 1893 for Charles III by landscape architect Édouard André: the tropical 'Petite Afrique' slope (giant Ficus macrophylla, ginkgo) on one side and the formal Boulingrins lawns on the other, framing the Casino facade. The pavilions that filled the Boulingrins were cleared in 2019 and the lawns redesigned by Michel Desvigne.

Good to know
- Look at Anish Kapoor's 'Sky Mirror' on the square and the busts of Massenet, Berlioz and Diaghilev along the sculpture trail.
- In December a vintage carousel stands in the Boulingrins facing the lit Casino.
- The fountains and shade make it the coolest stop around Place du Casino in summer.
