From Monday, 10 November 2025, work will begin to replace the escalators located alongside the Rainier III Zoological Garden.

These works form part of a comprehensive refurbishment programme required to ensure the continued operation of the installation, which has become outdated and is now due for replacement.

Throughout the duration of the project, scheduled to run until 30 April 2026, several alternative routes will be available to reach the Fontvieille Shopping Centre: via the pedestrian pathway on the Terrasses de Fontvieille esplanade, the lifts located beneath the Rock on Boulevard Charles III, or the lifts accessible from the Promenade Honoré II.

Temporary signage will be installed to guide users towards these alternative routes.
