Museum located in Saint-Cloud, retracing the history of the fall of Napoleon III, through paintings, sculptures and objects

This estate was given by Catherine de Medici to her squire and Louis XIV bought it for his brother, the future Duke of Orleans. In the 17th century, the house was transformed into a castle and Le Nôtre designed a park with a large waterfall that can be admired today. The property became the summer residence of the sovereigns until the fall of Napoleon III. Burned around 1870, the castle was razed in 1892. Through paintings, sculptures, objects, etc., the museum tells the whole story.

Un petit musée très intéressant !
Installé dans les anciennes écuries du château (qui figurent parmi les rares vestiges de l'ancien palais royal de Saint-Cloud), le musée historique est une étape incontournable pour connaître l'histoire de ce lieu si riche ! La visite est gratuite et se fait au travers de trois salles qui abritent notamment des peintures des anciens propriétaires du château (Philippe d'Orléans, Napoléon III...), quelques pièces de mobilier qui ont pu être sauvées de l'incendie en 1870, et une maquette qui donne un très bon visuel du château avant sa destruction. Chaque tableau/élément de mobilier est accompagné d'une petite notice qui permet de mieux les apprécier.
