Les Jardins De Monaco (English translation: "The Gardens Of Monaco") was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978, performed in French by Caline & Olivier Toussaint.
The song is a duet, with the singers recalling their innocent childhoods in the titular "gardens of Monaco" and singing about the famous people who could have kept assignations there. One of the famous people listed is Charlie Chaplin, himself the subject of the next song performed at that Contest.
The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Germany's Ireen Sheer with Feuer and preceding Greece's Tania Tsanaklidou with Charlie Chaplin). At the close of voting, it had received 107 points, placing 4th in a field of 20.
It was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1979 Contest by Laurent Vaguener with Notre Vie C'Est La Musique.
