Storm Benjamin is blowing strongly over the Île-de-France region. Due to these weather conditions, the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud will be closed on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 1 p.m. onwards.

The Domaine de Saint-Cloud is a favorite place for residents of the Paris region to take a stroll. With its 460 hectares, groves, fountains, and statues, the estate is a true haven of peace for city dwellers looking for a pretty spot of greenery. However, on Thursday, October 23, 2025, the Domaine de Saint-Cloud will not be able to welcome visitors.

On its official website, the estate states: " Due to the weather conditions and forecast winds, the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud will close its doors today, Thursday, October 23, from 1 p.m. For safety reasons, the park will therefore remain closed this Thursday afternoon. It is not yet known whether it will be able to reopen tomorrow: this will depend on how the situation develops in the Île-de-France region.

The cause of these inconveniences? Storm Benjamin, which is crossing the country from west to east. On Thursday, October 23, 2025, several departments are on alert for high winds, rain, flooding, and storm surges. This storm is mainly affecting the Atlantic coast, but its effects are being felt as far inland as Paris and the Île-de-France region.

In the Paris region, the weather is disrupted by strong gusts of wind and rain in some areas. In anticipation of these inconveniences, and as a safety measure, many parks and gardens have decided to close their doors to the public, such as the Domaine de Saint-Cloud. To find out how the storm is developing and plan your outings, we recommend checking Météo France.
