Jardin Bonaparte is a nice, modern public park directly at the port of Saint-Raphaël, "Le Vieux Port". It has a size of about 20.000 square meters and is built on an elevated pier in the sea, surrounded by water. This way, you have a great view of the port as well as of the Mediterranean sea from the park.
The park itself is dominated by palm trees, grass and wide paths. Stone benches line the paths, children's playgrounds are installed. Central element of the park is a five meter large
statue of the archangel Raphael, eponym of the city of Saint-Raphaël.
Below the park is the public underground garage "Parking Bonaparte". The park as well as the garage is owned and maintained by the city of Saint-Raphaël. Coordinates are from the main entrance of the park.
