Potager du Dauphin, Public park in Meudon, France

Potager du Dauphin is a 15,000 m² public park in central Meudon, entered through pale stone pillars carrying a blue wrought-iron arch inscribed in gold "POTAGER DU DAUPHIN". A low stone wall with a dark blue pedestrian gate stands beside the left pillar, and red plaques are mounted on both pillars. The former kitchen garden, laid out from 1679 for the Marquis de Louvois, borders the avenue du château de Meudon.

The property was established in the 17th century by the Marquis de Louvois to supply fresh vegetables to the nearby Meudon château. Its original purpose was directly linked to feeding the noble household and its staff.

The garden became home to the Russian Orthodox boarding school Saint Georges after the Second World War, which adapted the greenhouse into a Byzantine chapel for its students to use.

The 15,000 m² park is open to the public; enter through the blue wrought-iron gates under the gold "POTAGER DU DAUPHIN" arch on the avenue du château de Meudon. Buildings housing art and culture workshops are also open to visitors. A small red plaque marks the entrance pillars.

A glass courtyard built in 1881 for horse care was later converted to house a substantial library holding approximately 100,000 books in Slavic languages. This unexpected change shows how the property adapted to serve different purposes over time.
