Collège Charles III Opens in Monaco, Aiming for Enhanced Pedestrian Accessibility

Monaco’s educational landscape saw the inauguration of the new Collège Charles III on Monday, September 9, welcoming students from 6th to 3rd grade at the outset of the academic year. Situated strategically on the plaza that unfolds from Promenade Honoré II, the school emphasizes pedestrian entry, contrasting with the previous building's car access. This pedestrian-focused design aligns with Monaco's broader urban planning vision of promoting walkability and reducing vehicular traffic in key areas.

Transportation to Collège Charles III has been thoroughly planned to cater to student needs. While vehicle drop-offs near the school are restricted, comprehensive public transport options are available. CAM bus lines, including Line 4 at Honoré II and multiple lines at Place d’Armes, are bolstered by special school routes during peak times. For detailed schedules and subscription information, the CAM website offers all necessary details.

Additionally, for those approaching from different parts of Monaco, such as Fontvieille or Jardin-Exotique, recommended pedestrian routes include pathways through the Commercial Center and the Salines Gallery elevator, respectively. Cyclists benefit from several nearby Monabike stations, with a primary docking facility on Promenade Honoré II. For motorists, a designated drop-off point with a one-hour free parking allowance is available at the new Wurtemberg Parking on Avenue de Fontvieille. Further logistical information and a map detailing access points can be found on the school’s official website.
