| abstract | - Les jardins de Monaco was the Monegasque entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978 in Paris, performed by Olivier Toussaint & Caline. This was Toussaint's second consecutive entry for the principality of Monaco; in 1977 he and his longtime collaborator Paul de Senneville had composed Michèle Torr's Une petite française. The song is a mid-tempo disco 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; Greta Garbo, Brigitte Bardot, Roger Vadim or even Romeo and Juliet. One of the other famous people listed is Charlie Chaplin, himself the subject of the next song performed at that Contest. Caline and Toussaint also recorded the song in English and German, as "The Garden of Monaco" and "Auf Wiederseh'n in Monaco" respectively. The song was performed fourteenth on the night, following Germany and preceding Greece. At the close of voting, it finished in 4th place with 107 points.
