This year, the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud is taking part in the Journées du Patrimoine, on September 16 and 17, 2023. Located in the Hauts-de-Seine department, this magnificent green space hides an incredible history. Today managed by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, France's leading cultural and tourist network, the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud extends over 460 hectares. While the estate has long been a resort for many princely, royal and imperial families, the story of the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud began in 1577, when Catherine de Médicis acquired a small estate in Saint-Cloud, the Hôtel d'Aulnay, as a gift for her equerry, Jérôme de Gondi.

What happened next? In 1658, Louis XIV bought the château for his brother Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, while the park was designed by the famous André le Nôtre, who decided to enlarge it. By this time, the estate had grown to almost 400 hectares. While the Palais became the summer residence of all sovereigns and one of the seats of executive power until the fall of Napoleon III, it was burnt down on October 13, 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war.

Today, the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud is visited by many Parisians in search of a little greenery not far from Paris. Listed as a historic monument, the park is the largest green space in the département. Every year, the park hosts concerts and water games, not forgetting the Rock en Seine festival at the end of August.
