A bit of history...

Saint-Cloud, a town of Merovingian origin, owes its name to Clodoald, grandson of Clovis. Historically, it was the site of an important royal palace (now destroyed) frequented by French nobility and sovereigns, including Napoleon Bonaparte.


It is for this reason that Saint-Cloud, relying on its Napoleonic and imperial heritage, joined the restricted circle of “Imperial Cities”. It proudly displays in the permanent collections of the Musée des Avelines a large number of objects and documents from this historical period.
