On a nearby slope to the Fontvieille Park is the Princess Grace Rose Garden, opened on June 18, 1984 by the Sovereign Prince and his family. The garden is an extraordinary collection of roses, beautifully displayed along a network of intersecting walkways.

Opened in October 1993, the Naval Museum, displays a collection of models of ships and items marking the history of navies from all countries throughout the ages. Many items come from the private collections of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III.
