About this guide

Visit Meudon is an independent visitor guide to Meudon, in the Hauts-de-Seine département west of Paris. It is published by Phone Book of the World, and the domain has been part of that collection since the 1990s.

It is not the official website of the town of Meudon. For municipal information, see meudon.fr. Meudon has no dedicated tourist office: visitor questions are handled by the town hall, and the regional tourist board is Hauts-de-Seine Tourisme.

How this site is checked

Every opening time, price and address on this site was verified against the operator's own website in August 2026. Where a fact could not be confirmed from a primary source, it is not published.

Two corrections worth naming, because both circulate widely. First, the Musée Rodin de Meudon is free and opens at weekends only — several tourist directories still list a €5 fee and weekday hours. Second, the house at 11 rue des Pierres is Armande Béjart's, not Molière's: he died in 1673, before his widow bought it.

Why “Visit” dot com

There are thousands of tourist information sites around the world, all using different names, in different languages, under different country codes. With the arrival of the web, some pioneering sites started using the word Visit followed by the name of a city — and the universally recognised dot com.

The word comes from “Visitors Bureau”, the American, British and Scandinavian term for a tourist office. It is easy to understand for a traveller anywhere. Visit New York.com was registered on 21 April 1996, Visit London.com on 2 November 1998.
