Jardin Albert 1er is a public garden in Nice whose recognizable attractions place it in two brief but distinct moments: it is the setting for a crowded performance watched by Manou Esquebel, and the nearby carousel becomes an audible presence during a later conversation.

Setting and Public Performance

On a Saturday afternoon, Erica Lamarthe took her nephew to the children’s carousel in Jardin Albert 1er. Across the promenade, Medusa was performing, drawing a crowd that included Manou. The garden thus enters the investigation through Erica’s recollection of a public scene: a family outing and a street performance put Manou in a place where he could be seen among onlookers.

The Carousel as an Audible Landmark

In a separate conversation, Frankie Lejeune looks toward Jardin Albert 1er, though trees block her view of its celebrated carousel. She can still hear the calliope piping as the carousel turns. The garden is present here not through a clear view but through sound: its music continues beyond the immediate conversation, anchoring the scene in the city and giving the landmark an everyday life beyond its investigative relevance.
