Revoires Slope (Monaco)

Weather…

The Chemin des Révoires marks the highest geographical point in the Principality of Monaco, situated on the slopes of Mont Agel. With an elevation of approximately 161 meters above sea level, this area is characterized by a steep relief that geologically belongs to the foothills of the Maritime Alps. The inclination of the terrain required complex engineering solutions during urban development to securely anchor residential buildings and transportation routes. Historically, this area was less densely populated than the coastal regions due to its exposed location, but it evolved into a highly sought-after residential district during the 20th century. In the immediate vicinity lies the Jardin Exotique, which utilizes the calcareous soil composition and the microclimate of the steep slope. The view from this point encompasses the entire Principality as well as the adjacent French communes of Beausoleil and Cap-d'Ail.
