Porte de Saint-Cloud

Paris 16e

Named after the Porte de Saint-Cloud, which takes its name from the town of Saint-Cloud.

The town is named after Clodoald, a grandson of Clovis, who is said to have taken refuge in a hamlet on the Seine called Novigentum; after he was made a saint, the village with his tomb took the name Sanctus Clodoaldus. The subtitle refers to the nearby Parc des Princes stadium, a name that seems to date from around 1860.
