| Henri Joseph Harpignies Cascade at Saint-Cloud 19th century watercolor Ashmolean Museum, Oxford |
The Château de Saint-Cloud was a royal palace and park a few miles outside Paris. It became a favored dwelling of Napoleon and of various other short-term French monarchs of the 19th century. In 1870 the Prussians invaded, after the French declared war. Saint-Cloud lay in the path of conflict and the Château did not survive.
