Meudon seen from the Observatory terrace
Ten minutes from Paris-Montparnasse

Rodin's hill, an imperial cedar and the closest forest to Paris.

Meudon is the day trip Parisians keep for themselves. Two free museums, a 260-metre royal terrace looking straight at the Eiffel Tower, and 1,086 hectares of oak — for the price of a single metro ticket.

Heritage

Rodin worked here for twenty-four years

He arrived at the end of 1893, bought the Villa des Brillants in 1895, and stayed on this hillside until his death in 1917. Meudon is where The Gates of Hell was assembled, where the plasters were stored, and where he is buried — under a bronze cast of The Thinker, beside Rose Beuret.
