Meudon

Meudon is a commune in the Hauts-de-Seine department, around ten kilometers southwest of Paris. The town spreads across wooded hills and combines residential neighborhoods with green spaces.

Louis XIV commissioned a castle in Meudon during the seventeenth century, which later served as a royal residence. After the Revolution, the estate transformed into a research facility for astronomy.

The Château Neuf in Meudon houses scientific facilities and research centers, continuing the area's long connection with astronomical studies and discoveries.

The streets climb steeply in some areas, so plan extra time if walking. Regional trains reach central Paris within twenty minutes.

The terrace of the former castle offers a wide view over the Seine valley up to the towers of Paris. On clear days you can easily see the Eiffel Tower and other landmarks of the capital.
