Jardin Romieu
A terraced garden linking the Vieux Port with the Citadelle. Shaded by trees, it offers views over the old port and is a handy route to the upper citadel.
The Jardin Romieu was built in the 19th century on the northern slope of the Citadelle, connecting the Vieux Port with the Governor's Palace through wide stone steps and terraces. The garden has palms, banyan trees, and Mediterranean plants, and the terrace railings are the perfect spot for panoramic photos of the Vieux Port. Admission is free, and the garden closes later in summer. It can easily be combined with the Vieux Port and the Citadelle into a single walking route.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–18:00 (extended in summer)
