Historia [ editar ]

Napoleón Bonaparte en el golpe de Estado del 18 de Brumario en Saint-Cloud, François Bouchot , 1840.

La ciudad lleva el nombre de Clodoald , nieto de Clovis , quien supuestamente buscó refugio en una aldea en el Sena cerca de París, entonces llamada Novigentum, como muchos otros asentamientos mercantiles recién fundados fuera de las ciudades tradicionales. Después de ser canonizado, el pueblo donde se encontraba su tumba tomó el nombre de Sanctus Clodoaldus.

Un parque contiene las ruinas del castillo de Saint-Cloud , construido en 1572 y destruido por un incendio en 1870 durante la guerra franco-prusiana . El castillo fue la residencia de varios gobernantes franceses y sirvió como la principal residencia de campo de la línea cadete de Orleans hasta la Revolución Francesa . El palacio era también el sitio de la golpe de estado dirigido por Napoleón Bonaparte que derrocó al Directorio francesa en 1799.

La ciudad también es famosa por la porcelana Saint-Cloud producida allí desde 1693 hasta 1766. [3]

The Headquarters of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) was at 22 Rue Armengaud from 1966 until 1989, when it moved to Lyon.
