Meudon

Meudon is a region in the southwestern rural areas of Paris, France. It is in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. It is found 9.1 km from the focal point of Paris. The town of Meudon is based on the slopes and valleys of the Seine. The wood of Meudon lies generally toward the west of the town. The northwest piece of Meudon, ignoring the Seine, is known as Bellevue "lovely view". At Meudon, the argile plastique mud was widely mined in the 19th century. The main fossil of the European diatryma Gastornis parisiensis was found in these stores by Gaston Plante.

The old mansion of Meudon was revamped in renaissance style in the mid-16th century. It was purchased by Louis XIV as a living arrangement for Louis, le Grand Dauphin, under whom Meudon turned into a focal point of refined life. After the demise of le Grand Dauphin in 1711 the chateau was dismissed, exhausted in the revolutionary deals, lastly consumed at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, 1871, while it was involved by Prussian fighters. A part of the Paris observatory was established in 1877 on the remains. The Meudon town corridor is around 43 m in height over that of Paris and the move from that point to the observatory offers some compensating perspectives on Paris. Despite the fact that a decision private region, access to the railroad and the Seine stream have made Meudon an assembling focus since the 1840s. Metal items and military explosives have been persistently created there from that point forward.
