Location
Saint-Cloud is a town steeped in history. It dates back to the Middle Ages. The town’s name comes from Saint Clodoald, a grandson of the Frankish king Clovis I, who sought refuge here in the sixth century. Kings of France prized this spot for stays, especially because of its chateau, built in the 17th century under the orders of Philippe I, Duke of Orléans – the brother of King Louis XIV of France. But the chateau was later destroyed, during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. The Parc de Saint-Cloud, a vast park designed by the famous landscape architect André Le Nôtre, has kept its royal heritage with its French formal gardens and majestic fountains. The town has also played a key role in France’s political history. Indeed, it was the setting of decisive historical events, such as Napoleon Bonaparte’s coup d’état in 1799. Today, Saint-Cloud is a precious token of French history, yet at the same time a modern, vibrant hub offering a high quality of life. Indeed, life here today is ideal for families: there are modern infrastructures, excellent schools and first-rate public transport links, including a train station, tramway stops and bus stops. With its pleasant blend of history, nature and modernity, Saint-Cloud embodies the discreet elegance of the towns that lie immediately to the west of Paris.

The house
The house was probably built at the end of the 19th century, or maybe at the start of the 20th century. In any case, it was built between 1880 and 1930. With its burrstone elevations, window embellishments and tiled roof, its architectural style is typical of French country houses of that period. Other features, like its wooden outside shutters and tiled door canopy, underline the edifice’s traditional character. The dwelling has a garden-level floor, a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor. Each is punctuated with windows fitted with white shutters. The windows are adorned with decorative red lintels, which add a subtle touch of colour. The tiled gabled roof has eaves. On the ground floor, the main entrance door stands beneath a remarkable canopy covered with red tiles, which adds to the house’s character. A black iron fence upon a stone wall surrounds the property, making it neat and safe. On the garden side, each level of the stone elevation has large windows and doors that showcase the house’s blend of tradition and modernity. Sliding glazed doors and modern conservatories have been added to the building’s traditional aesthetics, bringing in an abundance of natural light and broadening the view of the garden. An outdoor metal staircase climbs up alongside the rear elevation, linking floors together and offering direct access to the garden below. The terraces, conservatories and balconies, at once practical and aesthetic, make it possible for you to enjoy the wonderful outdoor space here in all seasons. The marriage of old stone architecture and contemporary additions has been achieved masterfully and harmoniously.
