Château de Saint-Cloud
The Château de Saint-Cloud was a large royal château on a hill overlooking the Seine west of Paris, with formal gardens by André Le Nôtre and major 17th–19th century state apartments. It was used by members of the royal family, Napoleon I and Napoleon III, and was destroyed by fire in 1870 and demolished in 1891; today only the park and some outbuildings remain.

What Château de Saint-Cloud looked like in its prime.
A monumental U-shaped classical château opening east toward the Seine, with long pale-stone wings framing a gravel forecourt, regular rows of tall windows, and steep slate roofs. The building terraces down through formal parterres, canals and aligned fountains to a Grande Cascade and a lowermost reflecting canal; broad tree-lined avenues and geometric beds of clipped shrubs and circular basins extend across the 17th‑century French garden.
