Saint-Cloud, Affluent suburb 9.6 kilometers west of Paris, France
Saint-Cloud is a commune in the Hauts-de-Seine department, nine point six kilometers west of Paris. It stretches along the Seine riverbanks at an elevation of one hundred thirty-six meters and offers views over the western Paris region.
The town took its name from Clodoald, grandson of King Clovis, who founded a monastery near the Seine in the sixth century. Later the area became a royal residence, whose palace was destroyed during the Franco-Prussian War.
The International Bureau of Weights and Measures sits in the Parc de Saint-Cloud and maintains global measurement standards from there. Visitors see the building from park paths, where scientists from many countries still work together today.
Two suburban rail stations connect the commune to central Paris through Le Val d'Or and Saint-Cloud stops. Regular train services make travel easier for visitors arriving from the French capital.
Napoleon Bonaparte staged his coup here in November seventeen ninety-nine, ending the French Directory. The palace where these events took place no longer exists since eighteen seventy, and only foundation walls recall its former presence.
