Saint-Cloud
Just west of Paris on a wooded bluff above the Seine, Saint-Cloud is anchored by the sprawling Domaine national de Saint-Cloud, a 460-hectare royal park laid out by André Le Nôtre with cascading fountains, formal gardens, and sweeping views over the capital. Once home to a château that hosted French royalty and Napoleon before burning in 1870, the estate today mixes quiet garden walks and historic ruins with a lively modern edge as host of the Rock en Seine festival.
